What a fun and exciting way to teach your children gratefulness for what they already have. Such an important concept, put into a fun and engaging children's book!

What an adorable and playful read about a grandma just trying to find the right fit. We loved the different modes of transportation (and especially the bulldozer) and the bright and colorful illustrations in general. Fun read!

I liked the funny way in which it teaches children that we don't always need new things! Adorable illustrations as well.
