Grandma was Eaten by a Shark!

This brand new collection of crazy people-poems is not only great fun, it includes many of Andrea's most popular characters: Auntie Betty (who thinks she's Batgirl); Auntie Ethel who is really an extraterrestrial; Miss Nits the teacher with headlice; Mother Christmas who wants you to send presents to her; Spiderwoman who has a very creepy-crawly plan to take over the world; and of course poor Grandma who was eaten by a shark - but that was nothing compared to what happened to the rest of her family!

The pictures are hilarious - but that's not surprising because they are drawn by the remarkable cartoonist David Parkins, illustrator of Dennis the Menace, countless children's picture books and poetry anthologies. Each one is an absolute masterpiece!

A highly charged, hilarious set of poems, you'll be fighting your children for. This book, is a little like a chocolate cake, you feel a little guilty for its consumption, but can't help yourself and so keep going back for more. Amazon.co.uk review
