If you have a 4-7 year old please make sure he or she has had a taste of the Mad Grandad series by OisinMcGann
An old favourite in our house … You’ll never put your hand down the back of the sofa cushions again.
YEAH!!! Mad Grandad's back and this is his best adventure yet. Pretty scary stuff, this is the Borrowers with malice, and makes for a great yarn for young readers gaining confidence in tackling full-length books.
With his big square glasses, bulbous nose and free-flying eyebrows, McGann’s Grandad is a truly original creation. The illustrations, drawn from interesting perspectives, are imaginative and full of detail
With a real sense of zany fun.
