Older Not Wiser: A wickedly funny illustrated children’s book for ages six and up: Book 1 (Bad Nana)

Product Information

Cheeky and sometimes rude, Bad Nana's behaviour usually results in 'BIG TROUBLE'; she should know better but she doesn't and Jeanie regularly finds herself hoping that her Nana will not do anything to embarrass her. Pom Pom Gets the Grumps won Junior Design Awards Best Book of the Year 2015, and Sophy won Best Emerging Talent (Children's Author). One day, the fair comes to town and Jeanie is determined to win the fancy dress competition; her friend Sukey is convinced she can win the pet competition with her silky hamster; and even Jeanie's dad gets in on the action by entering the bake off with his coffee and walnut cake.

Bad Nana: Older Not Wiser is neatly divided in to three chapters – three perfect bedtime reading chunks.Whilst the first chapter delves into Jeanie’s family, friends and lots of fab details about her Bad Nana, chapter 2 ‘Park Life’ is where Sophy Henn shows us what Nana is really made of.

Det är dock fint att läsa om vänskaper över generationsgränserna och för målgruppen (6-9 år) tror jag att detta är en mycket rolig och spännande bok.Bad Nana has been banned from the line-dancing club for “being disruptive in the freestyle section”, has a cat with PINK hair and carries a walking stick that’s used for everything BUT walking. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!

But to justify how Jeanie didn’t like her younger brother just a little bit was not my favorite part because Jeanie experienced bullies from Georgina and the museum guy, she should know how it feels to be disliked. Gorgeously illustrated throughout with vibrantly coloured spreads, Bad Nana’s naughty exploits will shock and appal – and make you snort with laughter! I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. Messages on friendship and bullying are sensitively explored throughout and there is a lovely moment towards the end where Jeanie takes inspiration from her Bad Nana and speaks out.Children of all ages could enjoy this book, but it is particularly suited to children around the same age as Jeanie.
