All kinds of grandads are celebrated in this joyous picture book, ones that bake cakes, ones that build things, ones that cut hair!
My own favourite is the fisherman grandad, who ‘tells salty tales of sea monsters and mermaids, megalodons and whales’. They get a lively double page each, and the jolly, youthful grandad who narrates the story reminds us too that whatever lives they live, you can always count on grandads ‘for the love they have to give’.
As you can gather, the text is in rhyme and a treat to read aloud, while there’s so much going on in the pictures that it will be rewarding to read over and over. A really lovely book for grandparents and littles ones to share.
Every grandad is different . . . but they're ALL special! Is your grandad an adventurer or an explorer? Is he a builder, an inventor, or a magician? Whatever your grandad does, you can be sure he loves you! This is a joyous celebration of wonderful grandads and the love they have for their grandchildren. With a bouncy, irresistible rhyming text by Ben Faulks and charming illustrations by the talented Nia Tudor, it's the perfect gift for any grandparent or grandchild!
