Remember Grandma
from Grandma Drove the Garbage Truck, and Grandma Drove
the Snow Plow? This time Grandma is taking a bit of a vacation.
The town's Labor Day celebration includes a Lobster Bake, and so
Grandma decides to take a ride on the lobster boat with her son
and her grandson, Billy.
Everything is great, until the fog rolls in, and the waves get choppy.
Grandma's son is having problems, and someone else needs to take
over the helm of the lobster boat. It looks like all the boats are
having problems. Grandma is up to the task though, and with Billy's
help they will get the boat back in to shore, and deliver the lobsters
to the festival in time for the celebration.
Clark shows us what small town life is like in her charming stories.
The colorful illustrations by Amy Huntington really show the spirit
of the story with intricate details and a lovable Grandma. In each
book, Katie Clark shows us a different job that Grandma is capable
of doing, providing wonderful discussion topics for family time.
This is an outstanding bedtime story and simple enough for that
independent reader.
