A standalone sequel to Nana in the City, this book isn't quite as strong as that one, but it's lovely all the same. The grandchild - now the host, not the guest - can't wait to show Nana "everything I love," but is a bit disappointed that they can't show Nana how to do anything - she already knows it all! But when some sheep escape during a thunderstorm, it's the grandchild who remembers how to lure them back with a carrot treat. When it's time for Nana to return to the city, she goes with a souvenir (a feather) in her hat.… (lisätietoja)
A gentle one with Winnie the Pooh vibes. Not action-packed, but sweet.
Such a sweet book about perspective and facing fears, with a wonderful grandmother-grandson relationship.The grandson comes to the city to visit his grandma but is scared by the city. Some great visuals of nana talking to the homeless and helping at a soup kitchen. Very simple language and plot, I’m not sure if I would use in an elementary classroom.

anthropomorphized critters as they share friendship stories. While enjoyable as an independent read, this lovely
volume can be shared with adults, as they are likely to pick up on more subtle themes and can guide discussion.
Sweet but on the safe side of saccharine, Hedgehog charms.
