Book Description
for Sleepover at Gramma's House by Barbara Joosse and Jan Jutte
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A night at Gramma’s house involves all sorts of fun for her young granddaughter: favorite foods, painting, stories, imaginary play, and, most of all, a beloved adult’s undivided attention. Barbara Joosse’s bouncy text captures the exuberance of a young child (in this case, an elephant) who is giddy with the excitement about the overnight adventure. The accompanying ink, watercolor, and acrylic illustrations complement the vivacious tone, making the characters appear almost weightless in their boundless joy at being together. (Ages 3–5)
