Book Description
Two children compare their granny with others. Some grannies have thin legs, fat knees, crinkly eyes, or big soft laps. Their granny has a wobbly bottom and wears an old red sweater that was grandpa's. She has a style all her own--and to the children who love her, this granny is perfect. Full of warmth and good humor. Full color.
Publisher's Weekly
Australian duo Wild and Vivas ( The Very Best of Friends ; Let the Celebrations Begin! ) work their own special blend of magic in this affectionate ode to grandmothers of all sizes and hues. Here, a boy and a girl tell about grannies in general and their own in particular, from the way grannies dress--whether in ``jeans and sneakers,'' ``silky dresses'' or ``baggy underwear''--to what they do (``fix the plumbing,'' ``march in demonstrations,'' ``play in a band''). These are grannies for the '90s, active, vigorous women whose lives dispel traditional beliefs about aging. Wild's prose packs a punch (``Our granny does special exercises to make her bottom smaller'') and, as always, Vivas's watercolors are brimming with humanity. There are no hard edges in the world she conjures; the grannies are real, flesh-and-blood women whose soft, rounded shapes speak of hugs and laughter and love. It's a splendid collaboration and an especially fine tool for sparking preschool and early-elementary discussions about families.
Children's Literature
Grannies come in different sizes and shapes but all are conveyed with a warm fuzzy feeling. Grandparents and grandchildren will love sharing the humor and discussing differences together when reading this picture book together. "Some grannies have . . . thin legs, fat knees, bristly chins, interesting hair, crinkly eyes, friendly smiles or big soft laps. Our granny has a wobbly bottom," is only one of the funny passages delightfully illustrated in a story that celebrates grandmothers.
School Library Journal
"Some grannies live in...apartments, big old houses, old people's homes, little rooms in the city, trailers.... Our granny lives with us in our house." Grandmotherly characteristics (interesting hair, crinkly eyes, friendly smiles); clothing (blue jeans, silky dresses, big bras, high heels); occupations (driving a truck, plumbing, working in an office); and ways of kissing (big sloppy ones, none at all) are catalogued. Eight to ten possibilities alternate with the comfortable, one-sentence statements of two children about their own relative. The lists are varied enough to stimulate the imagination and, combined with the return to a personal point of view, avoid the dullness often found in repetitive formats. The text is large and clear. Vivas's translucent watercolor figures, surrounded by ample white space, spread over the pages and emphasize shape and movement. The perspectives are interesting-Granny marching in a demonstration is seen from above; there is a closeup of the heads and shoulders of three pursed-lipped grandmothers, one kissing the cheek of a delighted toddler. A variety of women-black, white, hip, punk, and traditional-are depicted with warmth and humor, yet all have a lumpy, rounded, saggy-baggy appearance. An affectionate book that affirms the endless diversity of people, life styles, and families.
Booklist
From the intimacy of one family to the rich diversity of all kinds of people, this exuberant picture book celebrates grandmothers, and it does so without earnest messages or reverential role models. Wild's simple physical words and Vivas' dancing watercolor figures individualize all kinds of grannies from one small child's point of view. Grannies can be glamorous, cuddly, vain, or outrageous. Some have funky hair, or fat knees, or bristly chins. Some grannies wear jeans, silky dresses, baggy underwear, or high heels. What prevents the book from being just a series of examples is not only the rhythm of the telling and the personality of the characters in words and pictures, but also the unifying story of the one toddler's granny. Some grannies babysit, drive trucks, fix the plumbing, go to college--"our granny marches in demonstrations." Some grannies have husbands (some have had lots of them), best friends, cats--"our grandpa is dead, but our granny often thinks about him." In one uproarious picture, granny is at her exercise class for her "wobbly bottom," the same bottom that the toddler loves to clutch. As in Wild and Vivas' The Nativity (1988), the pictures both extend the words and focus them, full of surprise and warmth and laughter. This is what family values is all about.
Kirkus Reviews
Another treasure from Wild/Vivas (The Very Best of Friends, etc.) ``Some grannies live in apartments...farmhouses...nursing homes or nowhere at all. Our granny lives with us,'' begins a cheerily irreverent comparison of a plump, affectionate, thoroughly individual family fixture with a plenitude of contrasting grannies (``Some grannies have thin legs...bristly chins...Our granny has a wobbly bottom''). Clothing; vocations and avocations; pets, friends, husbands; kissing techniques--the several creatively varied samples offer just the idiosyncracies that intrigue small children; but our granny, who ``wears a funny bathing suit,'' ``marches in demonstrations,'' ``does special exercises to make her bottom smaller,'' and ``always kisses us good night'' is clearly the best. And, slim or overflowing, Vivas's grannies are all delectably comical and rendered with a keen eye, a matchless sense of design, and a generous affection for all humanity. Sure to enliven a primary unit on families, or to launch a cozy bedtime chat. (Picture book. 4-7)
