Product Description

Review
Winner of the 2008 North Texas Book Festival Book Award in the children's book (fiction) category

Product Description
This book is intended for ages 5 to 7 years. As her Grandpa naps on the sofa, Lizzie minds the family antique store. When the extravagantly rich Mrs. Bradley Larchmont III enters the shop and begins a buying spree, she refuses to leave without bargaining for an unexpected item ...Lizzie's Grandpa! As the stakes rise, Lizzie imagines all of the fabulous things she could buy with the money she is offered. But what fun would a sailboat, an ice cream parlour, or an amusement park be without Grandpa? Readers will enjoy the clever play between grey tones and vivid colour that illustrates Lizzie's growing conflict. This farcical storyline, coupled with vibrant paintings, ultimately stresses the importance of family and friendship over material possessions and selfish, money-driven desires.

5.0 out of 5 stars money can't buy everything, 22 Mar 2007
We all know money isn't everything and in this heart warming and thoughtful picture book Lizzie comes to realise this for herself. It's a fun and witty story that can also form the basis for discussion about what money can and can't buy.

One day Mrs Larchmont and her poodle enter the antique shop belonging to Lizzie's family. Wealthy Mrs Larchmont has a house stuffed with antiques and when she spies Lizzie's grandpa asleep on the settee she decides that what her house needs is the ultimate antique: a grandpa.

There are lots of amusing scenarios with Mrs Larchmont offering ever increasing amounts of money; followed by Lizzie imagining what that money could buy her (eg a tree house, ice cream shop, boat, etc.); and then Lizzie remembering that without Grandpa reading to her, making his deluxe ice-cream sundae, etc., that it wouldn't be fun. So it's a 'No Sale'.

Don't let the cover put you off if you don't like American style cartoon illustration. Inside there is an innovative mix of colour and black and white illustration. It's unusual and adds an extra dimension to the story in that the colour illustrations focus on what is important in the story at that moment.

Don't try and buy a grandpa. Buy this book instead!!
