Whizz! Pop! Granny, Stop!

Description

Granny just loves to help - a little bit of magic always speeds things along - and she's happy to whizz out her 'helping kit' at the drop of a pointy hat. However, sometimes all her granddaughter wants is to do things under her own steam, and to spend some quality time - well, normal(ish) time - with her beloved granny. But is her birthday party the right time to choose to turn down the magic? Find out in this touching and hilarious companion title to Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble from our fantastic creative duo - the award-winning author, Tracey Corderoy, and the highly acclaimed 2010 World Book day illustrator Joe Berger.

Tracey was born and grew up in industrial South Wales and now lives in a hidden valley in Gloucestershire with her husband, two children and an ever-increasing menagerie of devilishly-cute-but-sometimes-rather-naughty pets. A trained teacher, Tracey has always had a passion for wonderful literature and began writing for children in 2006. Her books for other publishers include The Grunt and The Grouch series about two riotous trolls, and numerous picture books including The Little White Owl. When Joe Berger is a children's author, illustrator and cartoonist who also makes the occasional award-winning animated short film and title-sequence. He is co-creator of the Berger & Wyse food cartoon in the Guardian magazine each saturday, and has illustrated numerous books, inside and out, for children and grown-ups. Joe lives in Bristol with his wife, three daughters, two cats and a small dog, all of whom refuse to play boardgames with him.
