Hey Grandude! By Paul McCartney - ADVISABLE

Hey Grandude! By Paul McCartney, illustrated by Kathryn Durst. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2019. $18. 9780525648673

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

A grandpa is hanging out with his grandkids when they request an adventure. They pull out a stack of postcards and pick a place and grandpa’s magic compass takes them there. They go to several different places until they are tired and find a postcard of home. 

This is a poppy and fun book. The illustrations are cheerful and the adventures exciting. The story is, however, on the predictable side and there aren’t any big moments that stand out.
