Grandmas from Mars

Description

Fred and Nell's parents are off to a meeting. But first they tell Grandma, "Here's what they'll be eating. It's school in the morning, they can't be up late. So: homework, a bath - and in bed before eight." But, hang on, there's something not quite right about Fred and Nell's grandma. In fact, she acting very strangely indeed. And is that a spare eyeball? A tail? A striped tongue? That's NOT their grandma, it's an alien . . . RUUUUUUNNN! Completely crazy and brilliantly bonkers, find out how Fred and Nell overcome the invasion by Grandmas from Mars (and get their own grandma back!) in this fun and irreverent picture book from the talented Michelle Robinson with illustrations by rising star, Fred Blunt.

Michelle Robinson is the author of several successful picture books including the Sainsbury's award-winning There's a Lion in my Cornflakes, illustrated by Jim Field (Bloomsbury). She lives in Frome, Somerset with her husband and their two children. www.michellerobinson.co.uk Fred Blunt never wanted to be an astronaut or drive a train when he grew up. Right from the beginning he knew he wanted to draw silly pictures for a living... and some decades later he's living the dream! Inspired by Muppets, Quentin Blake and the classic cartoons, Fred has been a compulsive doodler since he was in hand-me-downs. Since graduating from UWE Bristol in 1996, Fred has worked on all manner of projects, including greetings, editorial, advertising, publishing and animation - designing a series of animated spots for the BBC. He now works mostly in children's books, illustrating several titles for Usborne publishing, amongst others. Fred also loves to write and draw his own silly comic strips and is currently writing his first children's book. Interrupted only by tea-breaks and a toddler, Fred works from his home studio in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK where he lives with his wife and two young children.
