Bad Nana: Older Not Wiser is neatly divided in to three chapters – three perfect bedtime reading chunks. One day, the fair comes to town and Jeanie is determined to win the fancy dress competition; her friend Sukey is convinced she can win the pet competition with her silky hamster; and even Jeanie's dad gets in on the action by entering the bake off with his coffee and walnut cake. Henn’s decision to use a fabulous pink neon colour to dominate her lively illustrations fits in perfectly with the content of the stories – Bad Nana’s face when she gets angry, the park keeper’s uniform and Liberace the cat – it works brilliantly. Pom Pom Gets the Grumps won Junior Design Awards Best Book of the Year 2015, and Sophy won Best Emerging Talent (Children's Author). My son read this book and he questioned me why Jeanie hate Jack so much and I explained to him that maybe her younger brother did all of the things she didn’t like just like he didn’t like when his younger sister kicked down his Jenga tower as he finished building it.

But to justify how Jeanie didn't like her younger brother just a little bit was not my favorite part because Jeanie experienced bullies from Georgina and the museum guy, she should know how it feels to be disliked. The characters are loveable,Bad Nana is a true and proper legend,I have no words to properly describe just how fabulous she is. Henn packs a lot of emotion into this chapter, we really feel for the characters as they tiptoe around the museum trying to avoid the grumpy museum man, and then there’s poor Lydia. The first section is an introduction to the characters, filled with hilarious facts about Jeanie and her family. We enjoy her mischief, her opinions, observations, originality, loyalty, mischief, near downfall and admiration of Bad Nana.This book is absolutely perfect for confident readers looking for their first step into longer books, or as a class or bedtime read for Y2. Whether it’s the bossy new park warden or an aggressively boring tour guide, Bad Nana demonstrates to Jeanie and young readers that a little bit of naughty is no harm at all; that bullies can and should be stopped; and, without overtly saying it, that the elderly have much wisdom and fun to offer us all.

Gorgeously illustrated throughout with vibrantly coloured spreads, Bad Nana’s naughty exploits will shock and appal – and make you snort with laughter! Her Nana isn't bad in the traditional sense like stealing or other crime committing, though she does love the stories that come with them from others like in the news.So it is of no surprise that a visit to the park and a class trip to the local history museum don’t go as smoothly as perhaps they should. Bad Nana has been banned from the line-dancing club for “being disruptive in the freestyle section”, has a cat with PINK hair and carries a walking stick that’s used for everything BUT walking. The Nana isn't bad, she's just mischievous and has her own form of justice that may well require her to dress up as Henry VIII sometimes.
