Synopsis
When Grandpa comes to stay, Finley's mum warns him to be on his best behaviour. But life isn't dull with Grandpa around. Whether he is babysitting, out fishing, or simply making his sweet, sour, chewy, crunchy, colourful cheesy omelette to help out with the tea, Grandpa always seems to cause more trouble even than Finlay - and that can mean a lot of fun! 'The unusually powerful pictures. . . . suit the characters and storyline perfectly. ' NURSERY WORLD of TIDY UP TREVOR

Gr 1-3--These funny British imports, with three stories apiece, dispel some stereotypes associated with older citizens. Grandpa Bear leads a physically active, busy life and craves adventure. Young Finley is always surprised at what happens when he's been fishing, cooking, or playing hide-and-seek with his grandfather. The vibrant watercolor illustrations add to the understated humor of the text. Young readers will relate to these often laugh-out-loud stories. In "Peace and Quiet for Grandpa," Finley's mom blames him for all of the mature bear's misdoings; in "Worms," the contents of a bag the cub is taking to Grandpa are accidentally released. Libraries with heavily used beginning-to-read collections will want to stock up on these appealing titles.
