Cute story of grandparents staying with grandchildren ... and a good lesson for the grandparents to work together and not against one another. Cute story.
Great books for kids!! I loved the Christian influence and my 6 year old son could relate to the situations while still reading the book himself!! HIGHLY recommend!!
The Hunter children are being looked after by strict and healthy Grandma Hunter while their parents go away for a weekend. The boys pretend they are sick to avoid eating broccoli. The children are relieved when easy going and sweets-loving Granny Mae unexpectedly arrives to join the family, but Abby feels torn about which grandmother to listen to. When Abby senses that Grandma Hunter is feeling hurt, Granny Mae approaches Grandma Hunter and they work together to manage the children for the rest of the weekend.
Differences are the spice of life! This book shows little ones that they shouldn't have favorites in people and that with a little kindness even total opposites can work together and get along.
