Grandma Georgia's handbag is always full of the most wonderful gifts. But how can it hold so much? Should Klara take a peek inside? What would you do?
An engaging picture book telling the story of a little girl called Klara who, curious about how her grandmother's blue, sparkly bag can hold so many wonderful things, climbs in to find out. Accompanied by Grandma Georgia's small black cat, Klara finds herself falling through a magical, amazing adventure in Alice in Wonderland style! Will she ever reach the bottom? Would you copy Klara and climb into the bag? Perfect for children aged 3 - 5, 'Grandma Georgia's Amazing Handbag' is packed full of imagination, written and illustrated in a style designed to encourage shared reading and lively discussion along the lines of 'how', 'what', 'why', 'who'. Featuring a fun literacy or counting question/challenge at the bottom of each page of text relating to the accompanying picture, there is also a pictorial subplot (the cat appears in each illustration: what is it doing and why does it follow Klara?) to help children develop skills in line with the goals of Foundation Stages 1&2. There is also a life skills message as the book gently hints at the wisdom of thinking before acting whilst inviting children to give their own thoughts and opinions.
