Customer Reviews

What a wonderful book!

This is a great book for early readers! It teaches geography in a fun, painless way, with lyrical prose, and colorful, bright pictures. Children will love it. Highly recommended for Kindergarten and First Grade teachers.

Can I go too?

The adventures, people and locations Nana experiences on her trips makes me want to go too! The illustrations are beautifully done and imaginatively laid out. This is not your average children's book! My kids were facinated by the different places Nana travels to and I loved the maps showing their locations. This book is a great addition any child's library. Grandparents need a copy too!

A very clever, entertaining and educational book

Where Will Nana Go Next? is a fun book that tells the story of Nana's trips around the USA (and the world!) in her motorhome. The sentiment is warm and the illustrations are fantastic--not to mention educational. While following the travel's of Nana, a typical "Grandparent on the road", children will also be learning a bit of geography as the book "maps out" Nana's trip. Nana is one busy traveler! She's found surfing in Southern California, on safari in Africa, even climbing Mt. Rushmore! A great book that your child will remember fondly in years to come.

Wonderful educational opportunity

Where Will Nana Go Next lends me the opportunity to share new and exciting adventures that Nana takes with my five year old son. The maps shown helps place him there in his mind. What an energetic trip.

Where Will Nana Go Next? I Bet Not to the Rest Home!

This is a book that is fun for adults and children both to read. Packed with vibrantly colored illustrations along with full page maps, Nana is sure to teach children of all ages. Don't think that pictures are all you get. The words of wisdom show children that grandparents can be extremely active and have fun, even at an older age. This book truly builds a bridge between the generations. Also, I can't forget Nana's spunky little dog, Spike. All you animal lovers will love to know that Spike solidifies what we knew about pets all along--their half-human. Whether he is sporting a Parisian mustache or hiking up George Washington's nose at Mount Rushmore, Spike is every bit as active as Nana.
