This book's realistic pictures bring to life the story of a young boy and his grandma. The pictures show real-life emotions and events through the images and descriptive words. This story shows the importance of culture, family, and music, and is a great book for all ages.

'Grandma's Records' is a wonderful tale of a boy his grandma. It will make you want to visit your grandma and share her passion with her. It will also make you want to pull out your favorite records or songs and dance all night to them. This book reminds us all to cherish the things that our loved ones love; they will never die if we have the things they loved.

I loved this book because it made me think of all of the things and lessons I took away from when my grandparents would teach me about things. I can see all children really relating to this story.

This book really hit home for me because I grew up listening to my fathers records and going to concerts with him. I also spent time with my grandmother when my mother was working a lot just like the by in the book. ( )

This Multicultural Book has an obvious theme for readers. It shows readers how family traditions affects who we become later in life. It shows the importance of family, culture, and music. This book has even been read to students in the 8th grade as the theme is something that many of the students can relate to. ( )
