Reviews

[Nahira]

Going to Grandma's farm is a great book for a new reader. The family is going to visit grandma and they travel in many ways to get there. The illustrations detailed with a touch of color and shading that looks like color pencil drawings.

Level 1. This was way too easy for Kiddo at this point, but it is a great confidence builder!
