Grandad's World

  “Will win over children and grandparents alike.” - The Telegraph A story celebrating the special relationship between one boy and his grandad, from national treasure Michael Foreman. Jack's favourite place to be is with his grandad: walking in the woods, looking after the village pond, listening as Grandpa shows him all the magic of the countryside. Together they watch Mr Fox prowling for mice, owls nesting in the trees and badgers sleeping peacefully in their setts. But one night, that peace is shattered with a screech of tyres as a monstrous heap of rubbish is emptied into the village pond. Can Jack and his grandad rally the village and clear the pond before it's too late? With a wonderful environmental message, this is the perfect picture book to share with children and grandparents alike. Michael Foreman OBE has established himself as one of the most beloved picture book creators in the UK over his 60-year career. This wonderful tale shows the beautiful connection between two generations and how, working together, they can protect our natural spaces and change the world for the better.
