Description: This sweet, rhyming counting book introduces young readers to numbers one through fifteen as Grandma’s family and friends fill her tiny house on Brown Street. Neighbors, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and grandkids crowd into the house and pile it high with treats for a family feast. 
But when the walls begin to bulge and no-body has space enough to eat, one clever grandchild knows exactly what to do.   Where there’s a will there’s a way when families grow and come together. (32 pgs) Ages 2-5

“Grandma’s lucky to have all these family members, and young readers are even luckier to be invited to this wonderful family gathering.” — Kirkus Reviews
