Mint Choc Chip at the Market Cafe

LoveReading4Kids Says

Interest Age 5-8

Priya and her grandma swap jokes, stories and memories over ice-cream at the market café.  Priya’s parents have a stall at the market and she loves it there, roaming round on her own or with her friends, checking out the displays on the other stalls and sharing the news with her Nana-ji.

Her parents are despondent when a new pet stall opens, it’s competition for their own, and they’re even more worried when they hear of a new retail park, but Nana-ji has seen it all before and is totally relaxed: everything will be fine. This funny, gentle, reassuring story is a lovely tribute to age and experience, and to the special relationship between child and grandparent.

Lovely to read it’s lovely to look at too, filled with Hannah Coulson’s warm, lively illustrations. 

High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
