Description - Lollipop and Grandpa and the Wobbly Tooth by Penelope Harper
Grandpa has really lost the plot this time... Lollipop has her first wobbly tooth: a wibbly-wobbly, bibbly-bobbly tooth that's coming loose. It wibbles and wobbles, but it just won't come out. Luckily, Grandpa has come up with several ingenious ideas for sorting out wobbly teeth. But when his plans involve a tug-of-war match, a grumpy woodpecker and a hoovering elephant, even Lollipop has to admit that Grandpa might have lost the plot this time... AUTHOR: Penelope Harper is a former radio presenter and school librarian. Lollipop and Grandpa are her first children's books, inspired by her relationship with her own grandfather. Cate James is an Edinburgh-based illustrator and printmaker. REVIEWS: "Wit is shared equally between illustrations and text here as young Lollipop is given a guided tour of her Grandpa's garden. Because the old man is a good sport innocuous objects like hose pipes or clothes lines are described by him as savage animals, each of which has the power to do terrible things to Lollipop unless she can tiptoe past them. This strategy works, but when the intrepid two finally return to the safety of indoors there is one more surprise to come. Cate James's cartoon figures signal from the first that this is all going to be good fun and Penelope Harper's text is a joy to read. Well done both!" -Carousel Magazine "I love this series for its evocation of the wonderful relationship that can exist between grandfather and grandchild. If you are a grandparent, get a copy and share it with your grandchild. When Lollipop finds her first wobbly tooth, mischievous Grandpa is full of good ideas to help get it out... a tug-o'war, a woodpacker and an elephant. What is Grandpa thinking of? Great fun and Cate James' illustrations depict the relationship beautifully." -Parents In Touch Colour illustrations
