Do You Know What Grandad Did?

A book full of nostalgia for the sort of jolly grandad so few children seem to have these days. Grandad is looking after the children for the day in a big, untidy, country house which such grandads seem to have. He's a cheerful subversive, letting the children do all sorts of things their mum doesn't allow and spilling the beans about Mum's behaviour as a child. The end-papers of the book show how to make your own family tree and suggest ways for exploring the reader's own family history. Both ideas offer an extra dimension to the book's use in the classroom.
