Bad Nana: Older not wiser is a brightly illustrated delight for children beginning to read chapter books as it is split into three sections.This book is absolutely perfect for confident readers looking for their first step into longer books, or as a class or bedtime read for Y2.

In all of these stories, Bad Nana stands up for those who need it, adds much-needed humor and delight into the day, and is just generally amusing. But when Bad Nana's nemesis Mrs Farquar-Haha rigs the pet competition, Bad Nana is determined she'll set things to rights.her first book, was nominated for both the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize in 2015. In this vibrant new illustrated series by Sophy Henn, readers are introduced to Jeanie and her very large family, including a rather naughty nanny. We meet her three best friends (although, Marcy is sometimes THE best friend) and her annoying younger brother, Jack.

Elmo and his sister love sneaking over the garden wall to play in the empty house next door, with its enticing overgrown garden. Bold, fun drawings illustrate the mischievous adventures of cheeky Nana and sweet Jeanie and their extended family. Her Nana isn't bad in the traditional sense like stealing or other crime committing, though she does love the stories that come with them from others like in the news.Jeanie lives with her mum, dad and a thing that makes lots of whiny sounds and answers to the name of Jack. Jeanie loves her Bad Nana because trouble always seems to happen when she's around, like all the rule signs at the park getting the no's crossed out or bringing a 16th century king to life. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. She’s unlike Jeanie’s other grandmothers with her black dress, pointy black shoes and gigantic earrings ‘for a little bit of sparkle’.
