Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Bunting's touching story of an unexpected birthday treat contains a subtle message about adult literacy; PW said, ``Carrick's glowing watercolors are the perfect partner to this story of a warm and loving family.'' Ages 3-8. (Oct.)
School Library Journal
K-Gr 3-A loving story about a proud granddaughter and her successful efforts to teach her grandmother to read. A plug for literacy is just the bonus; the real focus is on the lessons old and young share when they learn to read each other's hearts. A joyful surprise for any day of the week. (June, 1989)

    The Wednesday Suprise

    I would say this book is very good. It makes a lot of sense to me. It was never boring. This book is about a little girl who has her grandmother come over every Wednesday to make something for her father. This book was pretty good. The reason I say this is because I can understand where they are coming from. My grandma and I are really close to each other. And we never let any thing get in the way of our love. All I can say is you will have to read this book to figure out what the surprise is.
