Overview
Grandpas make a lot of strange noises. But what on earth do they all mean? Children will delight in learning to decode ‘schluuupglubshlurrrpglub’, ‘creak pop’, and ‘eeeaswoscrreech!’, and of course the noises coming out of Grandpa’s bottom will provide hours of entertainment. Get to know Grandpa better with this sweet, funny and colourful story!
“It is a long time since I have giggled through an entire children’s book. A great read for young and old. A chance for children to reflect on the older family figures in their lives and a chance for adults to see themselves and others through the eyes of a child.”
"I think a lot of young readers will be able to see their own grandparents in this grandpa, with his white hair and big glasses, and it explains a lot of noises that go along with aging. Get ready to decipher the noises if you''re reading this out loud, as some of them can take a moment to figure out!"
Children love laughing about body noises. In Grandpa’s Noises, a range of sounds and words coming from body and mouth are explained in a warm and funny intergenerational romp ‘Eyenolessgofurawark’ is obviously Grandpa-speak for ‘I know, let’s go for a walk’. ‘Aaaahhh’ means the cup of tea is just perfect, and ‘Pissphusshawertt’ is that sinking sound Grandpa makes when he needs a rest. Of course some sounds — like the ‘Fffffffft’ that sometimes escapes Grandpa’s bottom — need no explanation!- | Author: Gareth St John Thomas, Colin Rowe
