First FIVE Stars Review!!!

4.0 out of 5 starsGrandmas's Treasure is a Treasure

ByERHon February 14, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

This is a bilingual illustrated children s book, English and Spanish, filled with advice
observations, and goodwill homilies. The illustrations are renderings are from the mind
of a child, rather than the products of a professional artist, which help creates an impression
young readers can readily relate to. GRANDMAS' S TREASURE is indeed a little treasure in itself.

Gene Hull, author

5.0 out of 5 starsTouching Story with a Message

ByNightingaleon June 19, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

A sweet and touching story that carries a message easily understood and absorbed by children. It is written with insight and sympathy and the illustrations are simple and well suited to the style of the story. English and Spanish versions are presented in order and there is a useful short vocabulary section provided. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it as one which will both entertain and instruct.
