I read this book with my two sons – D (age 6) and S (age 2.5). They absolutely loved it! This book takes a look at all the different places that animals and people can live matched with fun, rhyming words.
A review from an actual kid: D (age 6) – “Animals and people live in all different places.” S (age 2.5) – “They all have a home like me!”

What a cute story. It’s true home is where the heart is. But we don’t all live in houses. I love that the author included the outdoor critters as well. The pictures are bright and colorful. Opening the storytime for conversations. The writing is clear and easy for our little ones to follow. Another great open ended book. A must have for all of our bookshelves.

This was such a cute story. It shows little ones that one matter where we might live, that love is the common thread. We loved the illustrations as they were bright and vibrant and caught your attention. This would be a great way to learn to read for a beginner.

The Places We Call Home: A Picture Book to remind us that home is where all love begins. By Kim Ann. This is such a wonderful children’s book and I’m getting a copy for my new Grandson! Its a book that has beautiful pictures and tells us that no matter where you live if there is love it can be classified as home. We all live differently but the result is the same. You can live in the city or the country and its still a home. Even animals live in different places and they are still called homes. Such a fun children’s read!

Grandma is a busy lady! She’s fun, adventurous, and can do it all! The illustrations are beautiful and grab your attention. My son loved the story and asked if his own grandma had done all of those things too. Another hit by Tricia Gardella!
This author has become a favorite in our household, so we were all excited when we sat down to read this together. The illustrations are beautiful and quite fun as they add more depth to the story. Both of my kiddos loved this book even though they’re a little over the target audience. I also enjoyed myself as we tried to guess where we would find Gramma on each page. It is thoroughly entertaining, silly, and engaging. This would be such a wonderful addition to your home library, a daycare, or even in the classroom. We are all excited to see what else this author creates as we will be following along for the fun!
This was a cute kids story that would pair nicely with a “habitat” homeschool lesson. Great illustrations, rhyming to keep kiddos engaged, and descriptions of different places humans and animals live in.

Where’s Gramma? by Tricia Gardella. I loved this book. The story and pictures were so great. I’m about to be a Gramma for the first time any day now so this story hit home! I can only hope to be the kind of Gramma these lucky boys have. Its the story of 4 brothers who are always excited to see their Gramma. She is always down for any adventure and by any, I mean any! In this story the boys are looking for Gramma and they don’t know where she could be. Is she up a tree, swimming or looking at a snake? She could be anywhere because Gramma is not scared of anything and is always up for adventure! I recommend this sweet book for all the Gramma’s out there and anyone with grandkids! They will love the fun story and the great pictures! I can’t wait to read it to my grandson!
Where’s Gramma is a fun adventure story for small children. In the story, the grandsons see their Gramma in various adventures. Children will enjoy the various adventures that Gramma gets into. The illustrations are fun and colorful. This would be an entertaining story for kids to enjoy with their grandmother. It will help them see how cool Gramma can be.

Author Suzanna Lynn is a happily married, full-time mother of three beautiful, energetic children, and lives in a small town nestled in the deep rolling hills of Missouri.
Growing up in the Ozarks, Suzanna spent her childhood wandering the fields and woods surrounding her home. While most children avoided the dark corners of the woods, she sought them out; imagining them to be filled with fairies, dragons and all number of creatures.
Having not lost her childhood imagination, Suzanna has written numerous poems, songs and short stories that won various awards in high school and college. Her dream was to, one day, be an author.
In 2014 she decided to stop wishing she could publish a book and made the dream a reality when she released The Bed Wife.
That first novella gave birth to two more books, completing the series, and stirred the embers of her five-book series called The Untold Stories. She has since published stand alone novels, and has published several children’s books.
When she’s not busy writing, illustrating, or spending time with her family, Suzanna loves to travel, go horseback riding, and growing flowers. She also has been known to volunteer with her children’s school, the Ladies Auxiliary, and even her local zoo!

This series is great for children with pets to learn how to take care of them responsibly. This book teaches the children that they could stay inside, and with parent supervision, make healthy treats for their pets. The dogs sit patiently behind the gate smelling the pastries being made in the kitchen.
I am getting this series of books for my newborn grand daughter so that she can look at the pictures now while Mommy reads her the book and then as she gets older she can read the book herself. I love the fact that their are plenty of good recipes in the back of the book for them to make for their pets.

Written by Terri Sabol and beautifully illustrated by Roksana Oslizlo, this book introduces kids to the importance of regular pet check-ups and how to care for their animal companions.

From dental care to vaccinations, the colorful infographics provide valuable information in an engaging way. As someone who appreciates both adorable illustrations and meaningful messages, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Terri Sabol strikes a balance between education and entertainment, making it accessible for young readers. And let’s be honest—anything that encourages kids to care for their pets is a win in my book! If you’re a pet-loving family or know someone who is, “Oscar and Emmy Visit the Vet” makes a fantastic addition to your bookshelf. It’s not only informative but also heartwarming—a reminder that our pets deserve the best care possible.

Andrew’s parents have a treasure chest for him from the time he’s just a baby. They are always encouraging him, telling him how strong and courageous he is. As Andrew grows, different toys appear in the treasure chest. One day, he finds some armor in there. He puts it on and runs around feeling stronger and braver than ever! Then, one day something happens and he puts his armor away. Nothing makes me feel strong or brave anymore. Notes start appearing on his armor, encouraging him to put it back on.
This book is very well written and describes the spiritual relationship of picking up our armor daily and fighting for the cause of Christ. It is a great way to encourage young children to be strong and brave, while also teaching them Biblical principals.

G is for Gossamer by Miss Whitaker 5 stars Very beautifully illustrated! Love the words and loved how my girls tried repeating them when I said them. They were super excited about the pictures as well. I liked how it had the definition of each word at the end of the book. Kaleidoscope was my favorite.

I don’t know if I loved this story more because I’m a gramma now and can totally see me doing this with my grandkids or if this story is just super cute! Either way I enjoyed reading it and wondering where Gramma was going to turn up next. The illustrations were perfect for the story and engaging for young and old readers alike. Can’t wait to read to my 2 yr old granddaughter!
Buddy and his siblings have grown, and it’s time for them to go to their forever homes. As families come to claim their new puppies, Buddy becomes anxious and worries that he will never get adopted.

Reading books by Tricia Gardella is delightful. We have grown to love her books. This one in particular would be fun to read the Littles Grandma. This book is colorful and has whimsical illustrations and easy to read text, capturing the essence of a grandparent’s playfulness and the joy they bring into a child’s life. It shows her vibrant and adventurous spirit. It’s also engaging and entertaining for young readers, you can play a little game like we did and guess where they’d find Gramma next. The Littles and I look forward to reading more of the author’s books.
Where’s Gramma? is a quick children’s picture book. It is geared toward younger readers, as there are only a line or 2 on each page. The illustrations help the story along. Gramma is playing hide and seek with her grandsons, always in new fun places. She is full of adventure and surprise. The story rhymes and is fun.

This was a short, straight to the point book. There wasn’t a lot of reading involved, it was mostly pictures of all the shenanigans grandma gets up too, and then shares with her family.
As a book and language lover, I picked this up as soon as I laid eyes on it. I hadn’t read anything by this author before, but this had all the makings of a promising book. The cover alone is simple yet eye-catching, so it should come as no surprise that the illustrations inside were just as gorgeous! Both of my kids are a little older at 8 and 12, but they still enjoyed this book as well seeing as these aren’t common alphabet books. I think it would have been nice to include the definitions on each page, but I can also understand the simplicity of only pictures. It also helps teach kids a little about context clues. I feel this would be an extraordinary addition to your home library, a classroom, or a daycare. Pick it up and share with the younger ones (and even some older ones) in your life!

I enjoyed this book because it really shows what pets can experience when they are left in a new environment. This book dealt with pets having to be boarded while the family was away on vacation. Thankfully it was with the grandmother but for the Oscar and Emmy it was still an unfamiliar place and scary for them. I highly recommend this series and author to parents with children who have or are interested in adopting a pet as it provides many helpful tips and suggestions on how to make the pet feel safe and loved.
