If you want to read a little book that you can pick up and put down, that will make you laugh, make you nod knowingly to yourself then read this one! Gervase always manages to make the ordinary, everyday things in life sound special, funny, poignant and loveable. If we humans and our little humans weren't exactly as we are, Mr. Phinn would not have been such a successful author, well maybe not :) Grandparents without grandchildren would be like bees without honey, one could not exist without the other yet together they create something that is ever so sweet!
