41 Uses for a Grandma

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amanda Haley. Numbered job titles are paired with amiable pencil and watercolor portraits of a grandmother or a grandfather interacting with grandchildren: providing comfort after a bad dream ("1. security blanket"), defining a word for an aspiring reader ("32. dictionary"), etc. The grandparents occasionally look miffed, which may amuse the adults who are the real audience for these books. Review covers these titles: 40 Uses for a Grandpa and 41 Uses for a Grandma.
