When I Was Little

When Granny comes to stay, she brings with her a wealth of sayings and stories to share with the family. Here is a book to savour from start to finish - from the whimsical details of the illustration to the gentle humour which works on so many levels. The children in my class couldn't help bouncing up and down as they heard Granny saying things they recognised for their own grandparents, and one even leapt up to find When We Were Very Young to tell us that she knew why the bears waited at the corners of the street in the olden days! A treat for everyone who can remember cuddling up to a beloved grandparent or parent and saying 'Tell me again about when you were little'.
