PreS-Gr 2–This sweet picture book from a star-powered writing team will be enjoyed by all generations of readers. Grandparents don’t have to be famous musicians like Benatar and Giraldo to be rockin’ with the children who love them. In vibrant colors and cartoon-style, playful illustrations, awesome elders of all races and ages are highlighted, from pilots to teachers to chefs. The connection among all these diverse people is showcased in the ways they love and care for their grandchildren. With its lyrical, rhyming language and fourth wall–breaking moments, the book has strong story time appeal.
VERDICT Children won’t need a lesson on the history of rock to join this celebration of intergenerational love.
