What! Cried Granny by Kate Lum, illustrated by Adrian Johnson 1999
Granny discovers that she is slightly unprepared for Patrick’s first sleepover at her house. Her efforts to provide everything Patrick needs for bed are valiant, and laugh inducing. She is armed with her toolbox, and determined to give her grandson everything he needs. She doesn’t break a sweat as she hones her woodworking skills and sewing prowess.
Obviously all this work takes some time, and when she finally equips Patrick to go to sleep, morning has arrived.
The illustrations are dramatically exaggerated, similar to the graphics of the 1950’s and 60’s.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
