Oh Dear Me, I’m Late For Tea!

Band 00/Lilac

This picture story follows Granny's race against the clock. It's two o'clock and Granny has just one hour to reach her destination. As the minutes tick by, the story shows Granny's increasingly imaginative modes of transport, from skateboard to jet pack, before revealing why she is in such a hurry – it's her grandchild's birthday tea.
