Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
As with The Mommy Book and The Daddy Book, the paper-over-board The Grandma Book and The Grandpa Book by Todd Parr continue to celebrate family members with many hues (a purple-complexioned, blue beehive-sporting granny demonstrates "some grandmas have a lot of purses"), shapes and interests.

Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 1-4-In this affectionate and humorous pair of books, Parr explores the differences among grandparents: "Some grandmas have a lot of purses"; "Some grandpas can wiggle their ears." He also notes their similarities: "Some grandmas live with a grandpa"; "Some grandpas live with a grandma." The books end with a short message about grandparents and a reminder to tell them that you love them. The artist's skillful use of bright neon, supersaturated colors, thickly outlined simple figures, and brief text combine to make the books lots of fun. Good additions to any collection and wonderful choices for a storytime.-Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
Some grandmas give you a lot of advice. / Some grandmas give you a lot of books. / All grandmas are happy when you spend the night."" There are no earth-shattering revelations here: just Parr's simple declarative sentences and trademark chunky Day-Glo art working together to promote his ethos: that we're all similar and different, and that's okay.
