Hey Grandude!

Paul McCartney

3.57 AVERAGE

adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted mysterious relaxing tense fast-paced

My 6yo has had this out of the library twice. The silliness of the talking cows and just the name Grandude continue to make us laugh. The repetition of Grandude’s key magic phrases does get a little annoying on the reader side of things but the kid enjoys it and that’s the main thing. Fun illustrations, too.

Another case of a celebrity writing a book.....and I'm not quite sure it pays off. I love that the grandpa is the central character along with the grandkids. (Normally you see grandmas). Still, I find it a bit long....and not a fave.

I enjoyed this book, totally imagining Paul McCartney narrating it as I read it!!

Whimsy, imagination and adventure radiates from this wonderful book! Four grandchildren are spending a rainy afternoon with their grandpa, whom they affectionately call Grandude. To cure the kids of their boredom, Grandude takes the kids on an adventure through a magic compass and postcards. The kids eventually tire of their adventures and head home to sleep and dream of their next adventure.

This delightful book is a favorite at our house! We have read it a hundred times and never get tired of it! The story is easy to read with some fun rhyming. The illustrations are beautiful and vibrant. As a parent, I love that it was written by Paul McCartney! Add some fun to your story time with this book!

Hand this one to Beatles fans who are parents or grandparents!

Paul McCartney me ha contado un cuento personalmente, no era un audiolibro, ¿VALE?

It’s really cute. Magic compass.

Grandude and his Chillers go on a rainy day adventure.

I’m the first thing I look at in a kids book is the artwork. Love everything about it and the colors are so bold! Fantastic.
Then I read the story quickly and I look for some kind of teaching, something that can make my toddler learn something. A lesson of sorts. This book doesn’t have that purpose per se, BUT there are some words that are definitely going to be new to a toddler and Grandude explains his “chillers” the meaning of these words.
It’s a good read and it would be the perfect book for a grandad to read to his grandkids. I can picture my dad reading this book to my kid... if he only knew English... I’m sure I can find the Italian version somewhere.
Wish I could give an extra 1/2 star, can’t give it 5 cause it’s not one of the books we want to read every evening.
