Children will enjoy reading Erin Dullaghan's "Meet Susie and Johnny Grilled Cheese". Watch Susie and Johnny as they go to school and see how much fun they have learning new things. You simply cannot help but enjoy their friendship as well as the vivid pictures that are illustrated throughout this book. In addition to that, they participate in exciting adventures that should not be missed.

The author used one of people's and, to some degree, children's most preferred foods to eat for lunch as characters, and the author did not let the reader down in any way. The illustrations are lively and full of vivid colours, both of which are sure to attract a child's attention. This book makes education seem like an enjoyable activity that also involves friendship. This book goes so far as to include a metaphor, which makes it easier for parents to connect with their children while they are reading to them by explaining what it means.

It's not that I didn't dislike the book; however, I feel as though this book could have been the first in a series about history in which you discover something new with each installment. It had the makings of a potentially instructive series. I also got the impression that the history section of this book was hurried, but I still felt like the book was nonetheless amazing.

I thought it was brilliant that the author based the main characters on grilled cheese sandwiches. Especially considering that it is one of the foods that I look forward to eating the most. I thought the author did a wonderful job of describing the friendship between Susie and Johnny. I think it's great that the author pointed out that education can be entertaining as well.

There was nothing about this book that I didn't like—well, not enough to want to deduct a point—and as a result, I give it a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars. Because it is so compact and enjoyable, the book can be finished in a single sitting. My favourite aspect of this book is how it makes a lot of serious topics sound more exciting and interesting than they actually are to encourage children to take pleasure in these significant activities. It appears to have been edited professionally because I could only find one mistake.

I think that children who enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and books about friendship would enjoy reading this book.

They say the best way to understand a hard concept is by making it fun to read and that is what the author has done in this book. Children will be happier reading about things they see in everyday life while learning things that are viewed as complicated.
