Cops and Robbers

Product Information

The child's innocent amazement at ALL the lines on her Nana's face is so honestly reported and the Nana's beautiful explanation that each line holds a memory is just charming.

Your experience with Girls’ Clothes: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Girls’ Clothes, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, The World of David Walliams, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it. This is such a lovely, gentle book which really showcases the wonderful relationship between a grandmother and their grandchild. Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping. Well, this book is beautiful in all kinds of ways, but the quiet, calm and unwavering character of Julian's Grandma is an utter joy. Her name conjures a million gags, in both senses of the word, and her grumpy, cantankerous grossness is a delight - but cross her at your peril. The ultimate matriarch for our times!

The acceptance, support and unconditional love she gives throughout the story makes your heart sing and is another wonderful example of the uncluttered relationship between the grandparent and grandchild. The Nothing to See Here Hotel is nothing short of hilarious, with both Stevens bringing the LOLS, big time. And while not the focal character, Granny Regurgita pretty much stole the show for me. I cannot write a list about grandmas in books and not include The Summer Book, which features one of my all-time, absolute favourite Grandmas ever. I know it's not a children's book, but Jansson is one of our most beloved children's authors so... No booklist I write is complete without Milly-Molly-Mandy. Old fashioned, yes. Rose-tinted, yes. Utterly comforting, OOOOOOH yes.

As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Girls’ Clothes” category.
