15 Things NOT to Do with a Granny

Author: Margaret McAllisterIllustrator: Holly Sterling

‘A GRANNY is a wonderful person to have in your life. If you are really lucky, you might have two grannies. Follow these simple rules to make sure every granny is a happy granny!’

So begins this intriguing book which is full of fun and laughter. As a follow-up to 15 Things NOT to Do with a Baby, it explores the relationship between children and their grannies, again using the same mixed-race family. For example, DON’T hide an elephant in your granny’s bed, or put leftover spaghetti in her handbag. DON’T give her a crocodile for her birthday, or interrupt her doing karate. DON’T race her on a skateboard. (She might win.) But DO ‘go for walks, listen to her; sing and hug your granny, and most of all, love her. Lots. She loves you!’ The pictures marry so well with the two grannies, each with their own identity, each enjoying their relationship with their grandchildren. A book dedicated to all grannies everywhere, to enjoy with all the family.
