      Synopsis

      Anna and Grandma are planning a surprise for Dad's birthday. Dad thinks he has received all his presents, but Grandma stands up and gives him the best one of all: she reads aloud the stories that Anna has taught her.

      Annotation

      On Wednesday nights when Grandma stays with Anna everyone thinks she is teaching Anna to read.

      Publishers Weekly

      Bunting's touching story of an unexpected birthday treat contains a subtle message about adult literacy; PW said, ``Carrick's glowing watercolors are the perfect partner to this story of a warm and loving family.'' Ages 3-8. (Oct.)

      March 02, 2007: I would say this book is very good. It makes a lot of sense to me. It was never boring. This book is about a little girl who has her grandmother come over every Wednesday to make something for her father. This book was pretty good. The reason I say this is because I can understand where they are coming from. My grandma and I are really close to each other. And we never let any thing get in the way of our love. All I can say is you will have to read this book to figure out what the surprise is.
