Banjo Granny

Plump old lady in Nikes who can traverse a river without a boat and coast over a hill and desert without a plane.
Not a bad children's book, but it did not light a spark in me. I thought the text was good and the illustrations were wonderful. Both authors and illustrator certainly have talent. However, I did not think the book as a finished product (i.e., the combination of the ...
