Grandma Hunt (The)
by Nina Matthis
Age Range: 6-8
Every summer Jacob goes to spend a week with his grandfather who lives in the
country. Usually, they have a great time together, but this year his cousin Linnea
joins them as well. At first Jacob is upset because she seems to be getting all of
Grandpa’s attention. But soon he and Linnea become friends and decide to give
Grandpa the perfect birthday present. He is going to be 96 or 69, they don’t know
which, and they want to find him a new grandma! Bright, humorous illustrations
by Gunilla Kvarnström accompany this lovely story by Nina Matthis of jealousy,
friendship and concern for the loneliness that old age can bring.
