Description
The hilarious follow-up to 15 Things Not to Do with a Baby has all the warmth and humour of its predecessor, focusing on the relationship between children and their granny.
DON'T hide an elephant in Granny's bed. DON'T send Granny up to the moon in a rocket, or wear her pants onyour head, or give her squashed jelly beans on toast for breakfast.
But do... dance with Granny, listen to Granny's stories, hug her and love her lots. She loves you!

Reviews
'Holly Sterling's illustrations complement the text to perfection, and add plenty of humorous touches of their own. A perfect present for any granny.' * Parents in Touch *
'This has lots of funny things that you definitely shouldn't do with your granny. It's the perfect mixture of silliness and with a nice sentiment at the end to remind you what you really should do with Granny. The illustrations had the children laughing away, especially at the prospect of giving a crocodile as a birthday gift!' * Let Them Be Small *
'This could quite possibly be the loveliest, happiest book about families published all year! It's full of invaluable advice for grandchildren on how to make sure every granny is a happy granny.' * Love Reading 4 Kids *
