Olivia and Grandma's Visit by Cordelia Evans- ADVISABLE

Evans, Cordelia Olivia and Grandma’s Visit.  Illustrated by Shane L. Johnson. PICTURE BOOK. Simon Spotlight, 2013. $3.99. Although Olivia is excited about Grandma coming to stay for a visit, she is NOT excited about losing her bedroom and having to bunk with her brother Ian.  Olivia tries desperately to figure out a way to sleep in her own room with Grandma instead or sleeping with her brother.  All her efforts pay off!  With a surprising and humorous twist, Olivia second-guesses her decision to bunk with Grandma.  Olivia is one of our favorite characters!  The story has great illustrations and is humorous throughout the book.  This is a great “feel good” bedtime story. This is the perfect book for all little ones who adore their grandparents- Grandmas in particular.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  ADVISABLE.  Reviewer: SL.
