The text for both books is the same, but the illustrations vary. So "Grandpas make hats" is shown with grandpa making newspaper hats, but when Grandma does that she knits. Grandma is shown fingerpainting, grandpa is painting with watercolors. But the important thing is that both sets of grands can give you "lots of love".
Sweet story.

Review: This book shows grandparents doing activities with grandchildren, such as building sandcastles, having a picnic, and taking a nap. It does a good job at giving positive examples of things grandchildren and grandparents can do together that they both may enjoy. This book is a good example of fantasy because the characters in the book are all animals and they are dancing and playing cards games and such like humans do.

This book is a double sided book talking about what Grandma's and Grandpa's do the best. The activities are all the same in which both grandparents do, but when it comes to the end it says that the best thing that they both do is give lots of love.
This is a reversible book, where one side is titled What Grandma's Do Best and the back is titled What Granpa'sdo Best. It is a book about how grandparents are always there for you when you need their love or help.
I love how both grandmas and grandpas do the same kinds of things best.
It's a little kid's book. It's for kids beginning to read.
