From Publishers Weekly
Surprises abound in Grandma and Me, a lift-the-flap board book by Karen Katz. Someone special is at the door. Who could it be? A big blue door on the opposite page opens to reveal It's Grandma! But there's more in store: lively pastels show a teddy bear in her suitcase and cookies baking in the oven.

Customer Reviews

This is a deeper book than you'd think.
My 3 year old granddaughter first introduced this book to me while I was at her house for a visit awaiting the birth of her new little sister. My first thought was, "well it's a board book so it'll be too simple for it to be good"... I read it the first night at bedtime, then the second night, then the third night and it continued on for the entire month I was there! LOL....sure we both knew it by heart very quickly and would read it out loud together, but that was half the fun. I'd do funny voices when I read it and sometimes changed a few of the words to kind of mix it up...But she enjoyed it so very much EVERY time. When I got back to the state where I live, I bought my own copy (just because I'm a kid at heart and I wanted to have something tangible of those beautiful reading memories with her.) I was further rewarded one day when she was having a hard time taking her afternoon nap. When my daughter called, I asked if I could talk to my little "Peanut"...I told her to go get her book and I would read it to her and she had to follow along and open all the little flaps. She did of course and she giggled the whole way through as if it were the first time she was hearing it. It was another priceless moment for this grandma...and she didn't have any trouble going down for her nap after that either. It's amazing what will capture a little ones attention. Sometimes we adults make things too complicated. As for me, I love to see things through the eyes of a child.

A Good Book
This is a typical Katz book, beautiful pictures, cute words in large print, and a lift the flap format. Your baby/infant will be captivated and reach for this book often.
The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me, is because I expected Karen Katz to include a more youthful looking grandma. Times have changed...neither of my children's grandmothers nor those of any of our friends look this way anymore...I just expected the images to reflect that I guess.

I love Karen Katz books
Karen Katz books are awesome! My daughter has had several of them since birth, and is now two, and picks them off the bookshelf to read almost everynight. By lifting the flaps, she really feels she is participating in the story. She's pretty gentle, and rougher kids may pull/rip the flaps. Note - the flaps seem to be bigger and sturdier - and the stories better - in the books both written AND illustrated by Karen Katz. LOVE her books.
