Such a sweet book about perspective and facing fears, with a wonderful grandmother-grandson relationship.The grandson comes to the city to visit his grandma but is scared by the city. Some great visuals of nana talking to the homeless and helping at a soup kitchen. Very simple language and plot, I’m not sure if I would use in an elementary classroom. ( )

Nana loves the city; the child narrator loves Nana, but isn't so sure about the city. But, after Nana shows them all the wonderful things about the city, they change their mind. Warm and wonderful. Add this to all the grandparent lists!

This book was so fun to look through it had so many colors, and made me miss my grandma's. I would use this is the classroom to show that all things are not how they seem.

A cute book that takes the relationship between a grandma and grandkid. ( )

The book is about a child who goes to visit his nana in the city. At first he doesn't like the city because it is busy, loud, and has scary things. His nana then gives him a red cape and he feels brave in it. His perspective about the city then changes and sees the good things about the city. I would recommend this book because it encourages children to be brave and includes beautiful illustrations. This would be a good book for 1st and 2nd graders to read. ( )
