Silly Frilly Grandma Tillie

32 pp. | Flashlight | March, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-9799746-8-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Jewett. Although Grandma Tillie claims sedentary interests, she is anything but when she babysits for Sophie and Chloe. Grandma's "Tillie Vanilly Show" and her various other personae and acts, complete with jokes, riddles, makeovers, song, and dance, delight the young sisters. The fanciful typeface and pastel illustrations of doe-eyed characters strain too hard to make a splash, but the story is endearing.
