How to Take Your Grandmother to the Museum
A picture book about that very special relationship between grandparent and grandchild, and how the young can often lead grown-ups to the joy of unexpected insight.
Written by a grandmother-granddaughter team, How to Take Your Grandmother to the Museum is a charming story of an adventurous little girl and her willing and eager grandmother, and the things they discover during a museum outing together. They visit Apatosaurus, whose bones are even older than Grandma's, and put on their pretend hiking boots for a trek to the Arctic. They imagine elephants trumpeting in the African Hall and travel through time to the Ice Age. Real photographs of exhibits are mixed with Marie-Louise Gay's whimsical illustrations for a realistic view of the museum.
