Review Detail

Ari goes looking for her grandmother at her house, but she is nowhere to be found. Grandma is very like her pet chameleon and can hide in plain sight. Ari enlists the help of her Grandma's pet ducks to find her, as they explore her very interesting house. Finally, Ari must try something unusual to try and draw her out. Will she succeed in finding her?
What I Liked: The story was easy to understand, but the world was really brought to life by the illustrations. There is so much detail in them and kids will love trying to find Grandma on each page. I did not notice the hidden chameleons at first read, but they do offer a fun challenge to kids when it comes to finding them.
What Left Me Wanting More: Honestly, I wanted to know more about Grandma's life. She seems really cool. She seems to have traveled the world and tried many things. The author's goal was to create a book featuring an older woman as they are usually missing from stories, but by hiding her, it allowed us to learn so much about her and her life. Grandma needs her own book.
Final Verdict: A fun book that offers kids plenty to do. They can have a lot of fun trying to find the characters. It was well written, intriguing and educational too as it could get children to ask about the items Grandma has in her house so they can learn more about the world around them. Highly recommended.
