- Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2016Verified PurchaseFabulous, as his works always are.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 22, 2018Verified PurchaseI got this to read to my 6 year old grand daughter. It's very British English so I had to translate a few words and phrases for her but that's fun to learn. She had some laugh out loud moments and so did I.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2023Verified PurchaseGrandchildren liked all three
- Reviewed in Canada on April 12, 2014Verified PurchaseDavid Walliams is a genius!! Everything he touches seems to strike a chord.
This is a touching and hysterically funny story, written for both kids and adults who read it to them.
The two protagonists are a Grandmother and her Grandson. The latter starts off really reluctant to see his boring Grandmother, until he finds out her secret.......
- Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2018Verified PurchaseReally fun book for a kid, my son is 8 and he loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun read (spoiler alert in the review)
Verified PurchaseFun read with the kids. It is silly and funny but be aware of the end. We lost my Mom a couples months before we read this book and it was really hard for us getting through the end. Overall it is a wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool story
Verified PurchaseMy 8 year old and I just completed reading this over two week of bed times.
She couldn't stop coming back to it every night. She could empathize with Ben, the kid in the story and also relate it with her own grandma. We laughed together at the silly moments quite a bit.
We will never forget the description of cabbage in the book.
Super cool and fun book for kids in the age range. Highly recommend.
