I must admit I was slightly dismissive of this book when it first appeared in hardcover but it has, in my experience, been a huge success with fives to nines reading it for themselves. They seem to find the exploits of bespectacled Grandma Tildy---a dotty, kind-hearted lady who wears trainers and has a soft spot for animals and an inability to say 'no' to the traveling salesman---enormously appealing.
