Great story, not so keen on illustrations, my kids love it

another Great Martin Waddell story, my advice is to buy any of his books, he is a good quality writer, very imaginative and kids love his stories. My 2 and 4 year old really enjoy this book which is about a little girl about the same age as the girl in this Nice semi poetic little story about a girl who takes her great-grandfather for a walk around the neighbourhood, and he notices the changes there, nicely alluded too without it being obvious, including the house which he built which is now derelict. Its lovely story about the relationship between an irrascible old man, in a wheel chair and his great-grand-daughter. The illustrations are nice, but they are a bit naive for my liking. They are very child-like in their representation but the saving grace is the enormous detail which make them nice to look at in detail.
