Is Your Grandmother a Goanna? Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

'Have you seen my grandmother?' asked the little boy. 'There are only goannas here,' replied the station master. 'Is your grandmother a goanna?'One day a little boy sets out to visit his grandmother.

But each station he comes to is full of a different sort of animal, and his grandmother is not a gorilla, or an elephant, or a walrus - or a goanna!

So the train steams on - Chuffa Chuffa, Chuffa, Chuffa - until finally, on the very last station, there she is. A wonderfully fun, imaginative story with a reassuring, heart-warming conclusion that every grandchild (and grandmother!) will love!

Educational potentialPamela Allen's picture books are ideal for showing students how rhythm, repetition and humour can be used to create a successful and engaging text.

Her work is wonderful to share and read aloud with very small children, as the words encourage their active participation.
