Christmas at Grandma's

by Donald Davis

Who doesn't remember the holiday sights and sounds and smells of Grandma's house? The living room aglow with a tree that touches the ceiling, the clatter of silverware and kitchen pans, the banter of relatives, and especially Grandma's bright face Donald Davis captures these memories and more and relays them through the eyes of a child.

At first, I deemed the narrator’s exaggerated Southern accent too annoying to listen to, but somehow it very quickly became perfect for the voice of the young lad recounting some Christmas memories from his childhood. When I wasn’t laughing out loud, I had a small smile on my face the entire time I was listening to it. I thought it absolutely charming!

Didn’t like that the children’s book referred to smoking cigars. But enjoyed the funny stories of Christmas’s past.

Didn’t like that they talked about smoking cigars for children. But enjoyed the stories of days gone by.

Lots of fun in this book about two brothers and the antics they did during Christmas time.

We have listened to most of the Donald Davis audio books available at our library. I like them because they are interesting to me and to Jay and the children. They are short, which makes them easy for car rides. These are good old-fashioned humorous stories about growing up. Donald Davis is a great story teller, and the material is clean.

Donald Davis has some really great stories he tells, they are just not in this collection.
