Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
I Love Grandma
Lizi Boyd · 2009
58/100
👎 Skip It
Lizi Boyd has won the Bologna Ragazzi Award and made the NYT Best Illustrated list in later work, so the creative pedigree behind this toddler board book is real — but this specific title has no critical reviews to confirm the quality carries through. The grandparent-grandchild premise is sweet and age-appropriate, but on medium confidence with no Kirkus or School Library Journal coverage, it's hard to point to this over better-documented board books.
