Perfect lift-the-flap storytime book for babies!

Treacly and stereotypical, but my 2yo loves it. The illustrations are odd (the cooking implements above the stove look more like garden implements?!) but do have charm.

I like this interactive board book because it doesn’t have long sentences or a story. It’s very simple for little children and have lots of fun colors.

Cute book, grandma is full of surprises. Just not super into it.

This is a very bright and colorful board book that would be great for infants. You could read this to your child before he/she goes to visit Grandma. There are also fun flaps on each page for the child to lift up and discover the answer to questions on the page.

My children's favorite from this collection. And I'm sure grandma likes to see them read it (she even gave it to them). Bright colors and fun flaps to lift. The flaps are not attached extremely well imo so if you read this a bunch you end up having to tape them all.

What a let down. We really love Grandpa and Me, where they make a pizza, and Daddy and Me, where they make a dog house. But this one is more about hide and seek with gifts from grandma. No mystery. All about receiving, not creating.

My daughter loves Karen Katz books. She really likes the inter activeness of the flip books. This is a cute one about all the things you would do with Grandma. Great book for a small gift for Grandmas.
