[Jane Dowling · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it - could see a bit of me in it! Cannot wait to read with my grandchildren! Bought it mainly for the amazing Beryl Cook illustrations, so feel that I have a double win with this! Only downside is I don`t like being called `Granny` so expect some teasing from the family!
