All grandmas have treasures, but are we one ourselves?
pleasantly straightforward story beautifully illustrated. I hope to read it to my grand daughter several times at her bedtime when I am child minding. There are many lovely items to look at carefully and are mentioned by the author. If we do that she may develop an interest in my little artefacts on my shelves!

E' il secondo libro della Melvin che acquisto per la mia bimba di quasi tre anni (il primo è stato High Street) e non ha deluso le mie aspettative: la protagonista si reca a casa della nonna e attraversa tutta la casa (ogni pagina una stanza, che si intravede già nella pagina precedente attraverso la porta socchiusa) fino ad arrivare al giardino, con sorpresa finale. Semplice il testo - adatto anche a bambini di tre anni o meno - ma ricchissimi di particolari i deliziosi disegni, che non si finisce mai di scoprire. Alla mia bambina è piaciuto subito. Ora glielo leggo traducendo dall'inglese, ma quando sarà un po' più grande certamente lo apprezzerà anche in lingua originale.

Tanto las ilustraciones como el texto son muy bonitas. Esta autora retrata cómo recuerda la casa de su abuela con la que mantenía una gran relación. Las ilustraciones están llenas de detalles.

So much to look at, lovely rhymes, and the cut through pages to help peek around the next corner-- altogether lovely!
