Granpa ISBN: 9780140508413
Burningham, John
Published by Puffin
A series of disconnected vignettes about a very special relationship between grandfather and grand-daughter. Granpas's chair is empty at the end of the book, and we are left to imagine the little girl's loneliness. Indeed, the loneliness is heightened by the child's figure being seen in a dim pencil sketch as she gazes at Granpas's empty chair. A book to be read over and over on many levels, always emphasising the child's happy memories of her grandfather.
Age: 4+
