Grandma doesn't just sit still either she packs her banjo and tries every goofy mode of transport she can think of to get to her wiggly grandson. The story's fast pace and short sentences make it perfect for kids who are just starting to read on their own, while the silly journey keeps even reluctant readers smiling. There's nothing scary here, just a whole lot of toe-tapping fun and a warm reminder that grandparents can be the best kind of adventure partners.
