Finding Granny
by Andrew Abel
Illustrations by Graeme Holding

Description

This book is inspired by treasure hunts that my father would set for his grandchildren using hand drawn clues. Visual clues means that even toddlers that can’t read yet can play. A generation later my daughters, now with children of their own, are asking me to lay these treasure trails for their children.
The story follows the children around the house as they search for clues that lead them to different objects. Eventually, they find Granny and she surprises them with a big hug.
The book is suitable both for young readers and pre-readers alike. It encourages observation and discovery, and also teaches the game to the older reader. The rhyming and simple vocabulary make it easy for younger readers.

"My five-year-old grandson got a big kick out of this book. He really liked the idea of granny hiding and the grandkids looking for her. This book is good for grandkids who can't read and those that can. For early readers, the words are simple and easy. Plus, rhyming words add to the fun." Nina Lewis, Grandma Ideas
