Reviews

Booklist

“. . .brief, affirmative text. . . clear, color photographs. A useful addition to many library collections.”
Booklist

School Library Journal

“Excellent color photographs show grandparents of different ages, ethnic groups, shapes, and sizes sharing happy times with grandchildren. . . A good choice for sharing.”
School Library Journal

The Horn Book Guide

“This book is simple yet appealing with its color photos of diverse grandparents from different age and racial groups. The book is upbeat, and, above all, it emphasizes the great love that exists between grandparents (and great-grandparents) and their grandchildren.”
