Colin’s Grandma
Book Review
It’s a heartwarming book with a lovely message about family, relationships and enjoying the things that make us different.
Laurie
This book made me laugh because Colin and Grandma did not like the same things- They are very different! I particularly liked Duck and looking at the pictures to see what he got up to when he was with Colin.
Mum:
Colin’s Grandma is a lovely and funny story about a boy called Colin and his grandma. We particularly enjoyed seeing just how opposite Colin and his grandma are, which made the story really entertaining and enjoyable to read.
The illustrations really helped to bring the humour to life and added so much to the story. We loved seeing the differences between Colin and his grandma through the pictures as well as the words.
It’s a heartwarming book with a lovely message about family, relationships and enjoying the things that make us different.
