This title offers a moving and humorous account of a close family relationship
told from the point of view of a child. With his dad out of the picture and his
mum working full time, six-year-old Johns grandad ends up looking after him
most of the time. But John doesnt mind he loves his grandad, even if they
dont always see eye to eye. In fact, much of the time they get on each others
nerves! When it comes to the important things though, Grandad and John know
just how to cheer each other up.
Review
Grandad and John is a joy to read aloud and children respond to it with
laughter, sadness and recognition. It is the love at the heart of their
relationship that makes the story glow. Wendy Cooling, Bookstart’
