A subtle, moving story of love across the generations.

Customer Reviews

Lovely book
Our two year old loves this book. It's a lovely story and I especially like that gran hangs upside down on the high bar (and the pictures of Baby Annie's face when she's not pleased). It reminds me a little of some of the Shirley Hughes 'Alfie' books, although it's for slightly younger children. I'd really recommend it.

A definite hit!
My daughter who is 2 yrs 8 months LOVES this book, I have to read it every nap time and every night before bed, I have to admit it is beginning to get to me!!! Am looking for a replacement. Would definitely recommend it.
