Her four grandchildren are NOT looking forward to spending the day at Grandma's after Mom tells them they must be quiet so they don't disturb her. When Granny unexpectedly shouts out, "It's too quiet for these old bones!" the children are happy to join her in some serious noise making. A fun group read aloud.

I love this sweet book!! The kids feel like they have to be calm because their mom told them to. But the grandma is funny and lets them be crazy!! Sweet book with funny illustrations.

Hilarious and unexpected!

[The Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Four siblings are dropped off at Grandma's with the instructions to be quiet because she is so old. Grandma - on the other hand - has a different opinion about this and encourages the children to make noise.

Okay illustrations.
