#Review: Gramie and Pups's House by Daisy Butterfield #childrensbooks




Synopsis:

The door is always open and everyone is welcome in as the smell of fresh baked pies and cookies lingers in the kitchen air. So, pour a cup of tea and sit down and relax. It is my pleasure to share with you a day in the life of Grammie and Pupa as seen through the eyes of their granddaughter, Daisy.

My review:

As a child, I often went to my grandparents house to visit. My grandparents were not gardeners but my Paw Paw did tinker and fish,my Grandma did cook. 

This children's book brings fond memories of those things as the author writes about a young girl who visits her grandparents every Saturday. There is pure enjoyment expressed as the main character does things like: plant a garden, play with toys, snap fresh green beans, and play marbles.

The illustrations added to the simplicity of the book and were cute. I did find a couple of things that did not match up with the writing but overall, not that big of deal for me.

All in all, this book was comforting and one that families will generally love to read over and over.

I give this book 4 stars.

About the author:
I was born in a small New England town. Growing up I lived just two houses away from my grandparents, and spent countless days hanging out with Grammie and Pupa playing games and gardening. I loved flowers, and still do. I would roam the fields picking wild Lupine, Queen Anne's Lace, and, of course, Daisies. This book is a legacy to my grandparents, a way of saying thank you for the sweet memories. May you make sweet memories with your little ones as you read this book with them.
