What are you planning to take to grandma's? And will it all fit?
This picture book for young readers reflects a child's-eye view of what to take--including a mitt, race cars, a space ship, wooden animals, a favorite stuffed rabbit, a pillow, a book, a flashlight. It's up to mom to bring some common sense to the packing.
The story is told with many rebuses. Emergent readers will enjoy following along.
As a 5-star reviewer put it: "Any parent who has had a child pack too many toys and no clothes or toothbrush in an overnight bag will laugh at this delightful tale!"
"Charmingly simple cumulative verse and rebuses," wrote School Library Journal. "This is a real winner. Great fun."
