Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Grandparents Around the World
Dorka Raynor · 1977
66/100
👎 Skip It
Dorka Raynor's photography book has genuine warmth and an admirable multicultural scope across 25 countries, and it has been a quiet staple of library collections for decades. The honest limitation is that 1977 photographs read as dated to modern children, and the minimal text gives parents less to work with than most picture books at this age level. A worthwhile library find but not a must-buy for most families today.
