<p><em>"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!"</em></p>

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. Children look at life with open, honest eyes but sometimes it takes a bit of thinking and code-breaking to work out what's really going on. Fortunately, for this particular grandchild, while Grandpa's noises might be a mystery to many, he knows just what they mean! For example, "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 in his chair. And once you know that "Eeeawoscreech!" is actually the sound of a misbehaving hearing aid, Grandpa becomes a lot less scary and even more lovable. Of course some sounds - like the "Fffffffft" that sometimes escapes Grandpa’s bottom, and Dad's - need no explanation!
Les mer
Grandpa's Noises reveals with funny text and gorgeous illustrations just what all those strange sounds coming from all parts of Grandpa - not just his excitable bottom - actually mean.
Children love laughing about body noises. This book explores this in a tasteful way.
