The exuberant, lively illustrations spring off the page in vibrant,
crisp colour.
This story of an energetic granny is so spirited and enthusiastic that I
feel exhausted just looking at the small boy valiantly trying to keep up as his
granny displays her cycling prowess!
It’s a rhyming story but, unlike many offerings for this age group, the
rhyme stays workably simple. This gives the story a deceptively effortless and
easy pace.
A boy is visited by his grandmother who takes him out for the day. This
is not a granny who stays home and sips tea: she does wheelies, tricks and
spins on her bike, loops-the-loop on the playground swing and sizzles down the
slide.
This fun book for preschoolers is fabulously enhanced by the gorgeous
and dynamic illustrations.
