In the book, My Granny went to Market, kids have a chance to fly around the world with Granny. As she races around on her magic carpet, kids will see new countries as Granny goes shopping and buys new things on her trips.
As she goes from country to country, seeing all these new things, she continues to pick up more items. This gives kids a chance to count the items that she buys.
Granny begins her shopping in Istanbul where she buys her flying carpet. From there she heads to Thailand, Mexico, China, and Switzerland. Later she heads to Africa, Russia, Australia, and Japan. Of course, she doesn’t stop there.
Granny heads to other places, too. On her travels, Granny buys everything from lanterns to boomerangs. She buys llamas, cowbells, and nesting dolls. Best of all, everything she buys has to do with the country where she picks it up. For example, while in Thailand Granny picks up two temple cats and names them Puyin and Puchai, which means little girl and little boy in the Thai language.
Written by Stella Blackstone and Christopher Corr and published by Barefoot Books, My Granny Went to Market offers beautifully vivid pictures and a fun, educational message.
Best suited for younger children who are learning to count, the pictures and the counting will provide plenty of smiling and laughing, the first time you read this book and many times after. If your child is just learning to count you will want to read it with them.
The text of the book is excellent but will be a little advanced for younger children if they are the ones who will be reading the book. Once they are a little bit older they should not have a hard time, though its likely they will be reading it for their interest in other countries, and not for the counting fun.
Bottom Line: My Granny Went to Market is perfect for kids who are just learning to count, that love geography and want to learn about the world. This is also an excellent book that you can read with your children. Educational and entertaining your child can learn how to count and about the world with just the flip of a page. If you are looking for an engaging and colorful book for a younger child, you might find this is just what you are going to want to buy.
