Juvenile Review - My Two Grandads by Floella Benjamin


Both of Aston's grandfathers are musicians: one plays the trumpet in a brass band, while the other plays steel drums in a steel band.  Even though their music and backgrounds are very different, they learn to blend and play together to help Aston's school. 

I liked the story in that Aston loves and wants to learn how to play the instruments of his two very different grandfathers.  I did not like the font chosen for this book; most pages have several lines of text and I found it a bit small. Sometimes letters within a word shift in their vertical position, and, while this can resemble notes on a sheet of music, I didn't find it as easy to read.  I gave this book a rating of 3 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. It will be published May 7, 2019 by Frances Lincoln Children's Books.
