Grandma Loves You!

Petra Brown's watercolor bunny illustrations are genuinely charming, and the personalization pages that let grandma write her own letter make this a sweet keepsake for a newborn's first shelf. But Kirkus was right to call it greeting-card sentiment β€” there's not much here beyond warm affirmation, which makes it a better gift object than a book you return to. Perfect for its occasion, limited beyond it.

✦ Penny’s Take β€” this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β€” not a page-by-page personal one. The gold βœ“ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
