Items related to No Trouble At All
This charming bedtime story is sure to inspire giggles from children and parents alike with its fun portrayal of a rather naïve Grandfather bear who thinks that the cubs he is babysitting are perfectly behaved. But the pictures tell another story! The little mischief-makers get into a pillow fight, snatch jam from the kitchen and sneak outside, all while Grandfather believes they are fast asleep. This Grandfather is universal in his love and tolerance, and children will recognize themselves in the playful cubs.

Review:
Good graces and seeming obliviousness: they're two traits that all grandparents (human or otherwise) almost certainly share, and British author Sally Grindley knows it. No Trouble at All further documents the intergenerational phenomenon, following the antics of two bear cubs who're staying the night with an older relative--and who are supposed to be asleep in bed.
About the Author:
"They're such good little bears when they come to stay. / I just have to say it's time for bed, and off they go, as good as gold." Or do they? With playful, homey watercolors, illustrator Eleanor Taylor shows us all the late-night goings-on in this split-level tree house, as the wee bears proceed to have pillow fights, get into the honey and jam, and sneak outside. All the while, the older bear just sips tea and reads, cleverly letting us know that not all their mischief goes unnoticed. ("I guess I didn't close the door properly. Silly of me.") (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
