Reader Enjoyment Factors:
The events are those toddlers and preschoolers can easily relate to. This will likely be a better learning-to-read book than a read-aloud story.
Content Awareness Factors:
None, really.
Little Kid Reaction

Big Kid Reaction
The story, as a list of things a child likes to do with Grandma, is rather bland. It's a nice book, just not a rib-tickler.
