Review: Grandads Are The Greatest

Is he a barber, a baker, a magician, inventor, retired, or something else? 

Whatever occupation they have, Grandads are great to have around.

This superb picture book pays homage to every grandad regardless of size, shape, or ethnicity. What they offer is the experience of love and joy from their own life, which they draw on and pass on to their grandchildren. 

Love and togetherness are the main themes on every page and in each of the stunning, colour-filled illustrations by Nia Tudor. Expressions of joyous time sharing is conveyed through exciting activities, food, stories, idiosyncrasies, and weird adventures.

In magical rhyming verse built with well-chosen words, this happy book makes for perfect reading and listening time. Funny and clever, it’s the special memories that it will create that make it stand out.
