Christmas at Grandma's
Grade 3 Up–These nine stories are a series of anecdotes and reminiscences about the author's family and childhood, and they all invoke an earlier and more innocent time, when kids yearned for Lincoln Logs and Erector sets instead of iPods and Game Boys. Dating as far back as 1910, the nostalgic selections are quietly funny and would probably charm any adult listening to the author read them on NPR, but it is unlikely that many modern children will be attracted to them, well-written though they are.–Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
