Grandparents are likely to get as much fun out of seeing it again as the new generation of fans just learning to read! Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes.Unfortunately rather than being hardcover as described at time of sale, it was a paperback but it is in good condition . The punks might have sneered at first, but they soon realized that the Great Granny Gang was to be taken seriously. Having just read Judith Kerr's Creatures, I really wanted to read this book and I wasn't disappointed. Let these grannies be your child's secret weapon, guiding them towards academic achievement and fostering a love for learning. There are some lovely moments, like when one of the grown-up characters, the victim of a daring bakery raid, worries what his mum will say about all this, and when the perpetrators, a gang of teenager hoodies, get their comeuppance from the granny gang.

Judith died in May 2019 at the age of 95, and her stories continue to entertain and delight generations of children.At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. However that may be, The Great Granny Gang is true to form, featuring the same somewhat quirky humor of many of the author's other tales, as well as her lovely watercolor illustrations. It is not included in promotions available to our main range products, as stated in our terms of service. Build your child's reading confidence at home with books at the right level Here comes the fearless granny gang,The youngest eighty-two.

Kerr was born in Berlin but left Germany with her parents and her brother, Michael, in 1933, soon after the Nazis first came to power.

The illustrations are fantastic, they are colourful, attractive, fun and capture the story perfectly. Bursting with excitement, adventure, and unforgettable characters, 'Great Granny Gang' will ignite your child's passion for learning. I think a relationship with your grandparents is really important and one of the big advantages of this current generation where people are living longer.

These may have a flashback affect of some of grandmas furniture or decor including throw pillows, curtains or maybe even a table cloth. I was delighted to see she had a new book out especially one with such lovely characters and whimsical illustrations. She is also the author and illustrator of numerous picture books, including The Tiger Who Came to Tea, which was first published in 1968 and has since sold more than one million copies worldwide.

They could immediately see the humour in these dear old ladies having unexpected skills, and were giggling even before we really got to the 'story' bit.They'll learn to tackle challenges head-on and become resilient learners, ready to take on any academic obstacle. Judith Kerr shows us that there is a lot more to this bunch of grey-haired grannies than meets the eye! As always, I appreciate when picture books focus on the elderly as being capable of adventures and wonderful things.
