Grandma

by Debbie Bailey, Susan Huszar (Photographer)

This innovative series grew out of a desire to provide all children with the opportunity to see themselves within the books they are reading and to identify with the children and families they see. The diversity of today’s families is clearly captured. The simple text and engaging photographs explore the relationship between very young children and their environment. Grandma explores a young child’s world using photographs of a variety of children interacting with their grandmas.

M likes pointing to the objects in the photos and naming things she knows (watch, bottle of milk, Teddy bear, etc). In one photo, the Grandma and granddaughter are riding on a bus, which M thinks is wonderful. She often makes the motion for the "wheels on the bus" song when we get to that page.

Overall - the photos feel a bit dated, but the text is simple and good, and a variety of different looking Grandmas are featured. Top ratings from M.
