Grandpa And Me (Super Chubbies) - Hardcover

Little Simon. 1988. BD $4.95. LC number unavailable. PreS Each board book contains 19 color photos of toddlers, and a few infants, with Grandma or Grandpa. Clearly represented are concepts such as ``riding'' on Grandpa's back, ``looking'' in a mirror, and ``cooking'' at a toy stove with Grandma. Most of the subjects are Caucasian, but one Asian grandpa and one black grandma are shown with their grandchildren. The most successful photos illustrate the action, such as grandma clapping hands with granddaughter. A few static poses, such as a little girl and grandma holding a piece of chalk and a chalkboard on which is written, ``I Love You,'' don't show the act of writing. The board books feature cozy, fun-filled photos of obviously loving grandparents and toddlers. These are well-suited to the intended audience. Jacqueline Elsner, Athens Regional Library, Athens, Ga.
