Review: My Grandma's a Ninja

My Grandma's a Ninja by Todd Tarpley

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



My kids can be somewhat hard to please when it comes to books I read to them. I think this one falls into the category of books that I enjoyed more than they did. I was sure that the idea of a ninja grandmother would thrill and delight all of my children, from the 3 year old to the 8 year old.... but I was wrong. The 8-year-old was mildly entertained, the 5-year-old sat still with her eyes glazing over, and the 3-year old actually walked away.

Now, I'll admit that the book could have been more clever and original but I still thought it was a fun idea. The writing wasn't dreadful but it wasn't great either (however, I should point out that this rarely matters to my little ones).

This was one of those books that I'd rather read than another Disney princess story... but I guess my chitlins disagree.
