Summary: What! Cried Granny is a hit with my second grade class.
Comment: What! Cried Granny is a wonderfully written story that is a perfect example for reading to entertain. I have read this story to my second grade class, and they have begged me to read it over and over again. It has been a great springboard for discussing resourcefulness as Granny cuts down a tree to make a bed, wakes the chickens to collect feathers for a pillow, shaves the sheep for wool to make a blanket, and tears down her living room curtains to make a teddy bear so that young Patrick can enjoy his first sleep-over at her house. I loved the last line of dialogue in the book, but I'll leave that for you to find out on your own as you read the book. The writing and illustrations are first class. I do recommend this book to any parent or teacher.

Summary: fun for toddlers -- and not so bad for adults either!
Comment: This book adds to a cherished history of tall tales as Granny goes to valiant efforts to get all the things her grandson Patrick needs in order to get to sleep at her house. Whenever Patrick tells her he lacks something (bed, pillow, blanket or teddy bear), the resourceful Granny goes to extraordinary lengths to get him what he needs. (The two-page spread of Granny working with the tree she's cut down, complete with saw, drill, blueprints and paint, is a treat.)
It is wonderful to watch your child's sense of humor taking shape. This book will delight youngsters, will not bore parents, and will introduce little ones to the joy of a good tall tale.

Summary: My Boy Laughs SOOOO LOUD!!!!
Comment: This book is hilarious for my toddler, who completely laughs like crazy everytime granny says: WHHHHATTT?!!! to Patrick.
Also, the retro art style, which summons up books from when I was a child in the 1960's is really interesting to look at. A very clever and well drawn book.
