THESE two little books, generously illustrated in black-and-white, are sure to please very young children who want a more substantial story than picture books can offer.
Each contains three linked domestic tales which can be read aloud either in instalments, or in a single helping.
In Ellie and Granny Mac we meet a little girl whose two grandmothers – one Greek, the other Scottish – are both quirkily full of fun and totally different from the traditional little old lady.
The second story explores the dynamics of family bullying with a quietly feisty heroine, who is determined to stand up to her overbearing older brothers. (Age 3+) Rosalind Kerven
