Books with title At grandma ruth’s house

Often, after school, a little girl goes to her grandmother’s house, where everything is always the same but, then again, different. One day, she puts her coat on the hook in the hall, pours a glass of milk for herself in the kitchen, and tries to reach the cookie jar on the highest shelf in the pantry. But where is Grandma? Children will love exploring the rooms in Grandma’s House, peering through its cutout pages from one room to the next and journeying high up into the foldout attic in search of Grandma. Highly detailed and intricately illustrated in Alice Melvin’s trademark style, Grandma’s House is another winner from one of today’s shining stars of illustration.

Isaiah goes over to his grandmother’s house for the weekend and experiences the warmth and closeness of family and friends. He helps his grandma in the garden and ends up wet, but happy, after getting into a water fight. On Sunday, church is a place where there is much singing and dancing. This is followed later by a barbecue where Isaiah gets a real taste of island foods.
