Editorial Reviews
Review
This precious story celebrates how love can transcend both generations and cultures. The language barrier with a foreign relative is expertly and affectionately portrayed, and both the story and its illustrations are fluidly multicultural. . . . Yan's delightful artwork has all the humor and detail and sunlight of a Pixar film. Many children will certainly relate to this sweet child with a big heart who just wants to make her elder happy-and does. ― Booklist
Pig-tailed Daisy and bushy-browed Yeh-Yeh's memorable expressions illuminate every page, and Daisy's sassy kitty and enchanting wardrobe (unicorn horn headband, fluffy boas and sparkling tiaras she shares with Yeh-Yeh) make for picture perfect scenarios. . . . With Yan's Pixar-ready illustrations and Moore's sweet text about familial communication, Grandpa Grumps invites smiles all around. ― Shelf Awareness
Moore has written a story that many immigrant parents, grandchildren and their visiting grandpas from native countries can identify with. . . . Yan's illustrations capture the mood of every occasion, from the grouchy gray of Grandpa's beard and attire to the confetti warmth of fried rice. . . . Moore invites the reader to learn vocabulary and follow along in Cantonese. It's whimsical and Chinglish, meant to be fun. Fans of Minh Lê and Dan Santat's book Drawn Together will enjoy this story of Daisy's incessant efforts to connect with a Grandpa who seems so distant. . . . This book will tug at your heartstrings. ― International Examiner

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021Bought this book instead of a card for a baby shower. Since the soon to be mom, has a dad with a reputation for being a grump, this book was accepted with great humour.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021This is great for grandkids and their grandparents, whether they're grumpy or not. It's a really sweet story that will warm you heart, and it's super funny, too!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020This book is the recipe for instant warm fuzzies! I love an endearing, character-driven story, and this is definitely that.
Little Daisy eagerly awaits the arrival of her grandpa who's coming to visit all the way from China. But when they finally meet, she discovers he's mostly a frown-y grumbler. So Daisy sets out on the most honorable of missions--to make her Yeh-Yeh smile before his stay comes to an end. It isn't easy, but Daisy isn't easily deterred, either.
5 Stars because...
Xindi Yan's illustrations could be screen shots from an animated feature film, they're so vibrantly alive with color and expression. And Moore's story is a heart-full, cross-cultural exploration of just how we go about loving other people: Do we do so on our own terms, or theirs? And maybe just maybe, bridges can be built when we meet people half-way, and Daisy finds just the right way to connect with her Grandpa Grumps.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020Daisy is looking forward to meeting her Yeh-Yeh for the very first time, so she’s planned all sorts of fun things they will do together. But when he arrives from China, he’s not the jolly, huggable grandfather she imagined. She tries and tries to un-grumpify her grandpa with no luck, and the language barrier between them makes things even more challenging. But, with a little investigating and persistence, Daisy finally discovers a way to communicate, and she and her Yeh-Yeh learn how to show their love for each other. This sweet story about love, persistence, communication, intergenerational and multicultural differences, and understanding is wonderfully illustrated by Xindi Yan and even includes a bonus recipe for Chǎo Fàn on the last page. Another heartwarming read by Katrina Moore!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020Grandpa Grumps is a sweet, appealing, intergenerational and intercultural story about Daisy, whose somewhat stern grandfather comes for a visit from China. She makes it her mission to make him smile but her usual tactics don’t work. “Grandpa shows love in other ways,” her mother says. When Daisy discovers Grandpa’s delicious chao fan recipe, they’re finally able to spend and enjoyable afternoon together. I love the connected place where this book ends up, and the idea that you can keep trying in a relationship even when someone doesn’t respond exactly the way that you expected. And – bonus – there’s a recipe at the end so kids and adults can try making chao fan themselves. YUM! It’s a heart-warming, belly-filling tale.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020Such a sweet intergenerational story with adorable illustrations.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020This new picture book is excellent on so many levels! A little girl’s grandpa comes to visit from China and she has high expectations, but is disappointed to find that he seems to just be grumpy the whole time. In a tender and humorous approach this story explores cultural and language barriers, intergenerational connections, and familial love.
The illustrations are so animated and engaging with lively details woven throughout. In a pivotal part of the story the grandfather and granddaughter connect over cooking Chao Fan together. There is a yummy recipe included in the back of the book which my daughter and I made together.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020"Grandpa Grumps" is a story about the excitement of hosting a grandparent and bridging the distance between years and culture. In this book, Daisy can't wait to welcome Yeh-Yeh, who is traveling all the way from China to stay with her family. But when he arrives, she has trouble connecting with her grandpa, who never smiles and rarely speaks to her. She tries hugs, tea parties, hot cocoa and crafts - but nothing works. A breakthrough comes when Daisy discovers Yeh-Yeh's love language. "Grandpa Grumps" is about finding common ground and making new memories together.
