Growing up, I remember reading Stories from Grandma’s attic, so I was very much looking forward to the newly published Grandma’s Attic Series by Arleta Richardson. I was not disappointed. The new illustrations are precious. I’m thrilled that a whole new generation will get to enjoy stories from Grandma’s Attic.
Young Arleta found many great treasures in her grandma’s attic. Each of these treasures held a special story which grandma happily shared with Arleta. Grandma’s entertaining tales always hold a great moral value without feeling preachy. Grandma is sharing her life, her memories, and some of her crazy antics.
Readers get to go along on the journey back in time – back to when grandma was a young girl. She seems to often find herself in some crazy situation. Thankfully, she learns from each of these situations.
As a mom, I appreciate the clean, fun nature of these books. It feels like I could be sitting down with my grandma and hearing her tales of when she was young. I couldn’t help but laugh at most, if not all, stories. I look forward to sharing these books with Munchkin.

I received a copy of this book from B&B Media Group to help facilitate the writing of a frank and honest review. No other compensation was received. A positive review is not guaranteed; all opinions are my own.
What a wonderful sounding book series! I think my daughter would love these, and I think I’ve found a gift her brother & sister could give her for her birthday.
