But Granny, despite her shortcomings, has a confident smile and knows just how to create a best-ever birthday party with a very unusual theme. Underpinning the narrative is the strong message of love with which Granny envelopes her grandchild. Her granddaughter knows she has someone very special to ''love awfully much'' in return.
I loved the frenetic, contemporary illustrations by Joe Berger, who seems equally on the ball whether he targets adults or children (just check out his [http://www.joeberger.co.uk/ website]!). There’s loads of interest in the drawings for pre-readers to pick up on each page, however often the book’s read. There’s lively language, interesting word shapes for sight vocabulary and plenty of easy phonic rhymes to guess from contextual clues. And there’s also [[Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble by Tracey Corderoy and Joe Berger|Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble]] with the same characters for when we tire of Whizz Popping.
Here’s a celebration of grannydom which is definitely a winner for me.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book.
[[ The Little White Owl Never Say No to a Princess! by Tracey Corderoy and Jane ChapmanKate Leake]] is just as enjoyable.
