What is My grandad about?

Every grandad is different, but each one is special. Some grandads may look a little like dinosaurs, tell wonderful stories, make children laugh or share exciting adventures. In this warm and playful picture book, a child celebrates all the things that make their grandad unique, from his funny habits to the love and care he gives. With colourful illustrations and gentle humour, Anthony Browne captures the joyful, affectionate bond between a grandad and his grandchild.
