Join bestselling author Susan Meissner and other "Mimis" in this Christmas-season poem inspired by the traditional holiday traveling song "Over the River and Through the Woods." Modern families find their way to grandmother's house using a variety of vehicles to celebrate with Mimis, Omas, Gigis, and Nanas.
This sweet Christmas story
- is for boys and girls 4 to 8 years old and grandmothers of all names and types;
- explores the different modern modes of transport used to take Christmas journeys;
- features rhyming text resembling traditional carols and folksongs; and
- celebrates the unique ways families celebrate Christmas while showing the common threads of food, family, and love in them all.
To Mimi's House We Go combines the magic of Christmastime with sweet memories of time with Grandma in an adventurous romp through country and city, from coast to coast.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but I do like Christmas books during the holidays. I think this is a great book to read with your child or grandchild and add to your holiday library.
This is a rhyming book sharing many different places that Mimi's live and the various ways we can get to Mimi's house. Some of these include "down dusty roads," "down the steps and to the subway,"or "step aboard the motorboat" to her deck.
I'd also like to point out there is a list of other grandmother names as part of the book.
The illustrations are beautiful and children will enjoy looking at the various scenes.
The teacher in me saw many opportunities for learning with this book....transportation, family, homes, and travel to name a few.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to provide a positive review.
