Recenzii

"You, or your child, might have a grandmother that lives in Florida. You, or your child, might not. Regardless, there is a relationship between grandmothers and their grandchildren unlike any other, and that connection is what Verona-based author Ed Shankman and Montclair-based illustrator Dave O'Neill sought to capture on the pages of their newest book . . ."

— Montclair NJ Times


"Author Ed Shankman and illustrator Dave O'Neill have done a fantastic job in creating this fun book for children ages two to seven. In this book - My Grandma Lives in Florida - young readers can follow a child on his visit to his grandmother's house in Florida. The book uses Seussian rhymes and rhythms, affectionate humor, and dazzling illustrations to present a child's-eye view of the grandmother/grandson relationship. Although meant for young children, I loved reading the book and admired the colorful illustrations - and, my grandchild keeps asking me to read the book to him over and over again.

The book is also permeated by Florida's sunny disposition. One fine example reads "That sun warms each beach it can reach/And rest assured, it reaches each/It shines on every manatee/From Tampa Bay to Longboat Key." Both men believe this fable will capture the hearts of children and grandmother's everywhere (It did mine!)."

“Seeing the green scaly skin and long snouts on the characters, you might not guess at first that Ed Shankman’s latest book is about a child’s visit to his grandmother in the Sunshine State — inspired, in fact, by his own two Jewish bubbes, one assimilated and sophisticated, the other the embodiment of Yiddishkeit to her core.

‘Both these women were amazingly influential in my life, taught me all kinds of stuff, and showered me with unconditional love and appreciation,’ he told NJ Jewish News. ‘The grandma in the story is a composite of them both.’

In My Grandma Lives in Florida, done with illustrator Dave O’Neill, adoring old ladies and gators get merrily blended through rhyme.”

— New Jersey Jewish News


The many rhymes that generously grace the pages of My Grandma Lives in Florida will captivate any child for hours on end. This book is unique . . .  not like all the other ‘bed time stories for kids.’ Happy and Entertaining. The graphics are exquisitely detailed . . . all small children will pleasantly be entertained with fun hours of reading.”
