What is Can you hear me, Grandad? about?

A girl is excitedly telling Grandad about all the animals she expects to see at the zoo, but Grandad keeps mishearing everything she says. Soon, leopards are changing their socks, bears need a shave and strange creatures appear in place of the animals she has described. As their conversation becomes more and more mixed up, the girl tries to make herself understood. This playful story celebrates family conversations, silly wordplay and the fun of reading aloud together.
