Homeschool Editor's Review
Overview: This Living Book CD is based on the book Just Grandma and Me by Mercer Meyer. Grandma and Little Critter go to the beach and have big adventures. As the story is read, phrases of the text are highlighted for children to follow along. In the read to me option, children do not need to do anything, but follow along. In the play option, children move through the book by clicking on the arrows on the bottom. There is a game called Play in the Sand. It allows your child to build a sand castle. With such easy navigation, it is a good pick for ages 3-7. This can be read in French, English, Spanish, or German.

Good Stuff: We love listening to the story once through and then going through with the play option and finding all of the interactive things to click on.

Parent Notes and Warnings: Make sure that your child chooses the language that you wish for him/her to listen to because the Read to Me option will go through the entire story.
