Review: Granny Gert and The Bunion Brothers

Granny Gert and The Bunion Brothers is written by Dotti Enderle and illustrated by Joe Kulka.

This is a cute book about two brothers who go to work for a fiesty grandma and they fall in love with her lovely granddaughter, Starla Scissors. As I read the story, I couldn't help but fall into southern accent and different voices. My children laughed throughout the book and we enjoyed the sayings like "Buddy and Buck jumped at the offer like a couple of hound dogs on a ham". My daughter loved the identity of Mad Dog at the end of the story (she is 7).

The illustrations add to the story and are really right on the money. Some may not like the somewhat stereotypical portrayal of these southerners. We just took it as a fun story.
