Grandad's Busy Day cover

In Grandad's Busy Day, children join Grandad as he mixes magic and adventure in the garden, complete with a fun interactive phone.

In Grandad's Busy Day, readers are invited to join Grandad as he enjoys a peaceful day in the garden, only to find himself immersed in a world of magic and adventure. Armed with his trusty spell book, he embarks on a journey filled with whimsical encounters, including a playful battle with dragons. The interactive element of the story allows children to engage with Grandad by using a special phone that rings, encouraging them to participate in the fun and excitement of his extraordinary day.

This delightful book is part of a series that features four humor-filled storybooks, each accompanied by a sparkly, ringing play-phone. As children read along, they will discover that the characters are involved in hilariously unusual activities while maintaining ordinary phone conversations. This clever juxtaposition not only entertains but also invites children to explore the illustrations, pointing out the amusing contrasts between what is said and what is actually happening.

Grandad's Busy Day is designed for little hands, with sturdy board pages and eye-catching holographic covers that appeal to young readers. The humorous illustrations, rendered in bright colors and bold lines, enhance the storytelling experience. With its engaging narrative and interactive features, this book is perfect for encouraging role-play and conversation, making it an excellent choice for reluctant talkers and imaginative children alike.
