#ReviewShare #BookReview #Children - My Grandma Lives in Florida by Ed Shankman

My Grandma Lives in FloridaMy Grandma Lives in Florida by Ed Shankman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of the better children's book I've read more recently. Children are a tricky audience - too little and it's not interesting enough, too much and you're boring. Never easy to find a good balance but I must say Ed Shankman is very close to perfection.

Based on My Grandma Lives in Florida, children between the ages of 3 and 6 will adore his book. In this book, his use of travel, family interactions and speech to teach a child unconditional love is beyond impressive. It's okay to have your imperfections, people will still love you - this is an important lesson for children to learn from a young age as they grow up in a society that demands unattainable perfection.

Illustrations are very well done and are well-suited to the story. Colours are vibrant and catchy for a child. Younger children learning to read may find the text a bit small but this also depends on the type of reading device and format. All in, fantastic work. Ed Shankman definitely has a new fan.
