Meet My Grandmother: She's a Deep-Sea Explorer

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | September, 2000 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1720-1 $$22.90
(4) K-3 Grandmothers at Work series. Photographs by Joel Benjamin & Mark Gardner. Marine biologist Sylvia Earle is viewed through the eyes of her grandson (and the author) in this book designed to highlight the achievements of a pioneering grandmother, though the main focus is on daily routines in and out of work. While the concept is admirable, the tone is somewhat forced--the staged color photographs and the constant references to "G-mom" become grating.
