Format:Paperback
in this story from Ronda and David Armitage.
So.....Mr Grinling decides to find himself a new pastime......eventually!
Look out for those pesky seagulls!
31 high quality shiny pages, in the popular 2-page spread format (except the first and last one!) with superb illustrations throughout.
Aimed at the older, more confident reader - the print is on the smaller side, and the story is further enhanced by witty speech bubbles.
From the back cover:-
`Mr Grinling is bored. He doesn't have enough to do now he only works part-time at the lighthouse. He needs a hobby. After trying everything from cooking to roller-blading, he discovers that surfing is what he wants to do most in the world.
But first of all he must learn how to swim!'
Example of text:-
`Mr and Mrs Grinling lived with their cat, Hamish, and his family in a little white cottage perched high on the cliff.
Some days Mr Grinling was the lighthouse keeper, but other days he just got in Mrs Grinling's way.
"Mr G, Mr G, you're always under my feet," complained Mrs Grinling.
Mr Grinling sighed. "I'm bored, Mrs G. Now that Sam helps at the lighthouse I haven't got enough to do."
" A new pastime," said Mrs Grinling, "that's what you need. What do you enjoy doing?"
"Eating?" suggested \Mr Grinling. He dipped his finger in the icing. "That's it," he said, "the perfect pastime, if I like eating I'm sure I'd like cooking."
Mrs Grinling looked alarmed.......'
And poor Mrs Grinling has good reason to be, as Mr G tries his hand at bread making and ......well........a number of other possible hobbies...with some complications, to say the least!
So does the stubborn Mr G finally make it on a surfboard?
And does he get his tea?

My Grandsons and I adore these stories , they never fail , my boys amuse people with their unusual vocab they have learnt from the books, eg look grandma at those pesky varmints , when referring to the pigeons
