My Granny is an Alien - A Funny Children's Picture Book - Paperback

A granny with a clever disguise. A granddaughter who realizes that things are not what they seem. Another brilliant book in the Top Secret series, this time with granny as a star. The story will stimulate the imagination of children, with the author inviting them, once again, to think outside the box. The illustrations, which are done by the author herself, are brilliant, resembling comic strips. Like the other books in the series, I think they will truly appeal to reluctant readers, encouraging them to discover their love for reading.

My opinion:

Francesca Watt has a truly original style, both in terms of illustrations and text. She writes in rhyme and often make us of intelligent wordplay, appealing to readers, big and small. I absolutely loved that she made granny a star, I think this will encourage kids to look at their own grandmas and realize how amazing they are. In the words of the author, �gran is no ordinary granny�. This story, aside from the fun factors, will strengthen the relationship between grandmas and their grandchildren, which is such a beautiful thing.

My daughter has found this story to be hilarious. After we read, she tried to decide which one of her grannies might be from Mars, coming up with different arguments. Maybe they have clever disguises indeed. I think therein lies the value of stories, and it must be an incredible feeling to know that you have helped kids explore their own imagination. This is the type of story that comes with guaranteed giggles, and I must admit that I was pretty curious myself. I just wanted to find out what happens next and how the story would turn out.

Grannies are often fun and silly, and we should appreciate them as they are. I think this is one of the main lessons to learn from this book. Granny might be an alien, but she can do so many incredible things, and this is what matters the most. Once again, the author highlights the importance of acceptance, something which kids need to learn from a young age. For me, reading books like this one is always a pleasure, as the blend between humor, emotion, and education is excellent. You can feel the love she has for writing throughout the entire book.

Verdict:

This was a beautiful read, one which reminded me that we must love each other, no matter how different we may be. Francesca has done an excellent job in creating a story where granny is the star, with quality humor and wonderful illustrations. The dialogue is witty and there are so many intelligent remarks, that I am sure the book will appeal to adults as well. The book is guaranteed to generate plenty of giggles, and I think it is a suitable choice for early readers. We enjoyed it together and we are looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

How fun to have an alien for a granny! ?????? The concept of this book (and series) is so creative! Having read the first two now, I can see how the author follows the same pattern of nobody believing a child�s suspicions about an adult - and then the child choosing to keep what they know as a fun little secret. The possibilities are endless with this formula, and I can�t wait to see where the next books go!

I love how the girl in this book also suspects her mom may be an alien and then� *SPOILER* she even grows an extra eye herself! ?? Such a fun and entertaining premise! I especially loved the parts with Alien Granny in the water and the story of how she met her husband. ??

I can�t wait to read the next two books and see what happens! This is such a fun and imaginative series for everyone to enjoy! ????

I love the idea of the top-secret stories and this one is no different. And this book is no different.

This time there is a suspicion that Granny is out of this world, she might be an alien. The central character's determination to convince everyone that her Granny is a visitor from Mars creates an amusing and suspenseful plot line.

The use of a comic-strip style not only makes it engaging but also incredibly interactive for young readers. The illustrations are beautiful and the story flows. I would highly recommend this book.

"My Granny is an Alien" is a heartwarming reminder that the people we love are truly out of this world in their own special ways. The humor is perfectly pitched for young readers, with witty dialogue and clever situations that are sure to generate giggles and laughter. The text is also well-suited for early readers, making it an excellent choice for independent reading or as a captivating bedtime story.

Highly recommend the entire series for whole hearted laughs during family time :)

BLOOPZZ, SHUCKVRRRRRRP, KEZHILEEEE are all the sounds a Granny makes because in the eyes of her granddaughter, Granny is � an ALIEN! Her Granny has so many super powers she MUST be an alien from outer space! RIGHT?? The illustrations are �out of this world�! Turn the pages to see how this little girl tries to convince her family and friends that her celestial thoughts about Granny are REAL! This read is intergalactic! Highly recommend for all of your little aliens!
