Items related to Grandma's House
Often, after school, a little girl goes to her grandmother’s house, where everything is always the same but, then again, different. One day, she puts her coat on the hook in the hall, pours a glass of milk for herself in the kitchen, and tries to reach the cookie jar on the highest shelf in the pantry. But where is Grandma?
Children will love exploring the rooms in Grandma’s House, peering through its cutout pages from one room to the next and journeying high up into the foldout attic in search of Grandma. Highly detailed and intricately illustrated in Alice Melvin’s trademark style, Grandma’s House is another winner from one of today’s shining stars of illustration.

From School Library Journal:
K-Gr 3—After school, a little girl goes to her grandma's house, where "everything is different but always stays the same." As the child walks through rooms looking for her grandma, she comments on her favorite routines: "I love to ride the rocking chair as quickly as I can." This lovely juxtaposition of the familiar and the undiscovered is brought to life in Melvin's intricate illustrations. The rooms are full of knickknacks and curios to discover, from a china cow milk pitcher to a cabinet of dancing figurines. Die-cut holes allow readers to peek through doorways, and a vertical gatefold leads to the attic, where more vintage treasures await. The child finds Grandma outside in the garden, and is greeted with a big hug and a tea party celebration. VERDICT Children will pore over the details in this cozy, nostalgic glimpse into the everyday.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
