Book Reviews of What! Cried Granny (Picture Puffins)

Book Review: A Perfect Bedtime Story!
Summary: 5 Stars

What! Cried the Granny is a charming tale about a boy and his first sleepover at his granny's house. Granny tells him to go to bed and he tells her that he doesn't have a bed over at her house. So she makes him one. Then he doesn't have a pillow, a blanket, a teddy bear, etc. The resourceful and loving granny takes the time to make each of these things for her grandson so that he can have a pleasant night's sleep.

We were first introduced to this book at story time at the library and just loved it so I had to buy it for my 3-year old nephew, who adores it, as do his older brothers (5 & 7 years old). They laugh every time that we read it to them and never seem to tire of granny's astonishment that she isn't ready for her grandson to sleep over. The illustrations are charming and the writing is easy enough for younger children to understand, but funny enough that older children will enjoy the grandchild's clever ploys to stay up longer. This is a great read aloud book and gives the parent/grandparent/teacher lots of chances to use inflection and different voices. A great addition to your own book collection that your children will treasure for years to come!

Summary of What! Cried Granny (Picture Puffins)

Patrick is having his first sleep-over at his grandmother's house. It's almost bedtime, but there's a problem-Patrick doesn't have a bed at Granny's. So Granny goes out to her yard, chops down some trees, and makes a comfy bed for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. He doesn't have a pillow! So Granny dashes to the henhouse, collects some feathers, and sews a fluffy pillow for Patrick. Now he can go to sleep. Right? Not yet. A few other things are still missing . . . . If Patrick is lucky, this could go on all night!

"Children will snuggle down with smiles on their faces after this comic spin on the paraphernalia associated with a common ritual." (Kirkus Reviews)
