Grandma McGarvey Goes to Sea

Jenny Hessell's Grandma McGarvey is a New Zealand institution — a spirited, fearless older woman who throws herself into improbable adventures with complete commitment and great comic effect. In this volume she takes to the sea, and the humor and warmth that characterize the series are fully present. The message that age is no barrier to adventure is delivered through slapstick rather than lectures, which is exactly right for young children. The honest caveat: this book is genuinely hard to find outside New Zealand, and there are few independent critical reviews to draw from on this specific title. What is clear is that the series has been warmly loved by New Zealand families for thirty years. A charming read-aloud for children aged four to eight. Entirely family-safe and faith-friendly.
