Love, Grandma is a children’s book written by Ann Morris. It is all about the special bond between a grandmother and her granddaughters, which is filled with fun and love.

Payton and her sister Haley enjoy spending time with their grandmother. They play with toys and games, read books, sing, dance, bake cookies and have sleepovers with their grandma, whose heart is full of love for her granddaughters. They cherish every moment together; it reminds grandma of her childhood. She likes watching them color the drive with beautiful sidewalk art, build houses with blankets and stools and do somersaults and cartwheels on her rug. But when grandma tries to perform a backbend, her back doesn’t support her and she falls. What happens next?

Love, Grandma is written in the form of a short poem in very simple words and is easy to understand. Each stanza is accompanied by colorful illustrations, which make it even more enjoyable. The tone is fun and lighthearted. Despite being a short book, the story is instilled with great values. It emphasizes the deep affection between family members and warm family relationships. It is an effective way to teach children about the role of their family members in their lives.

There is nothing that I disliked about the book. The author developed the characters so beautifully it made me fall in love with all of them, especially Payton and Haley. As I read the book, it brought back some cherished memories from my own childhood. I liked this aspect of the book the most.

I would rate Love, Grandma by Ann Morris 4 out of 4 stars for the lovely poem presented by the author. The book is professionally edited; I found no spelling or grammatical errors. It is suitable for children of all ages and is a great way to develop their interest in reading.

Love, Grandma

It's a very straightforward review and the book is enjoyable. I would like to see a message, however, or some funny lines. Either way, great review!
