Through wonderfully rhythmical writing and exquisite illustrations, Judith Kerr OBE shows us that there is a lot more to this gang of grey-haired grannies than meets the eye! I think a relationship with your grandparents is really important and one of the big advantages of this current generation where people are living longer.

They could immediately see the humour in these dear old ladies having unexpected skills, and were giggling even before we really got to the 'story' bit. Appealing both for its fantastical elements (Miss 4 liked the lions eating cake) and for showing that women can have any kind of career or skill set. With their black belt knowledge and ninja-like teaching strategies, these grannies are masters of their craft!There are lots of action filled pictures in the book, these really do give the impression of movement for the characters.

This shows that while Judith Kerr has turned her attention to grannies she has not forgotten her first love – cats! Who else would protect us from nefarious cake thieves but a group of grannies, who will then be able to bake you some more cakes afterwards.
