The Grany Franny Adventures
GRANNY FRANNY’S BIG RED BUS
The first in the Granny Franny Adventures series where Granny Franny surprises her grand children, Jax and Ronni, with a big bus ride to London. However, Granny has never driven a bus and it all looks like a disaster until she meets Thinkerbell the talking bus bell who helps her learn to drive and becomes her new best friend. And then it starts to rain … a lot.
- BBC Radio 2’s Ken Bruce comments, “It’s great that Sonia’s experiences driving our buses gave her the idea to write these stories. I love this book; the pictures are great and it deserves to be a huge success.”
- Joseph, aged 5, adds, “The story is funny – especially when they get stuck in thick, icky, sticky mud”
- Delia Gascoigne - Director, Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic writes "This has been super book and the use of various reading rules reinforces the sounds that they have begun learning to recognise and master.
- Paola Burgess, headteacher of Grange Community Junior School says, “The children in my school love this book; we are using it to teach them about transport, compassion and storytelling.”
- Donna, 75 said “I wish I could drive a bus. My grandchildren love this book.”
- Mo, 6 added ”Thinkerbell talks too much! But I love when they go to London and see The Queen.”
‘Granny Franny's Big Red Bus’ could just be the most unique and quirky children’s book on the market. Beldom won’t say where the similarities between her and Granny Franny start and end…although most suspect there are many!
