Little Old Ladies Review

PUB DATE: September 2008

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Don’t be fooled by the pillbox hats, pearl necklaces, or support hose. Ignore the walkers, hearing aids, and false teeth. Little old ladies are people to be reckoned with and lead far more exciting lives than we could ever imagine. To benefit from these wonderful women, all you have to do is listen.
In this quirky, uproarious picture book, Franziska Kalch uncovers the secrets of this often misunderstood population. You won’t find these old ladies feeding the ducks at the pond or walking at the local mall. Instead, look for them at the trendiest dance clubs or basking by the pool. They have so many experiences and ideas to share. We just have to ask.

MICHAEL’S THOUGHTS:

This was a cute story book about little old ladies that Michael enjoyed listening too as we have an aunt (great great great aunt to Michael) that is always referred to as the little old lady.

I think we take little old ladies for granted and think that they lead a dull and unexciting life but in this story we discover that they lead quite the opposite life. 

The illustrations in the book are so cute and funny and go well with the story as it goes on.

Before they were little old ladies they were dancers, teachers, doctors and many more things. They also how alot of life experiences that we might have forgotten about. (The illustration shows them all at the park having fun swinging and sliding.) They also seem to know everything going on. (Michael loved the illustration for this one as it showed the little old ladies in a room, one typing  on a typewriter whats going on, one using binoculars to spy out the window, one listening to the radio, one using a horn to listen next door and one with all kinds of mail.)

So if you wonder why they always seem to sleep during the day its because they don’t sleep well at night.

They do so much that we are unaware of so the next time you see a little old lady and she talks to you take a few minutes to listen to her.
