My Granny Went to Market: A Round-the-world Counting Rhyme

Product Information

Fly away with Granny as she takes a magic carpet ride around the world, collecting a steadily increasing number of souvenirs from each exotic location!

As it says in the title it is written in rhyme and every place she visits she picks up a certain amount of objects (one more than the previous place) therefore is a counting book also.The illustrations reveal traditional dress and environments including Australia and Switzerland… An entertaining story, while revealing a captivating illustration on each page of the very finest quality. This children's book is ideal for introducing the different cultures around the world by traveling together with Granny and her flying carpet. This is an excellent book for young children, which can help develop counting as granny takes the reader on an adventure around the world with her. I enjoyed reading this book because in some of the cultures I did not realize one of their customs and normalities.

From half a pawpaw to five jew-plums through to ten bananas, this girl’s love of Caribbean fruits is so infectious that you can almost taste the juice dribbling down your chin. The writing is just as exciting, rich in rhyming, alliteration, interesting words, and introduces foreign words to children, and gives an insight into the different cultures and objects which represent that country. Definitely will use in my teaching as there are multiple opportunities for studying cultures and their history.The different cultures add another layer to the story by maybe piquing some interest in a country the reader may or may not have heard of. A beautifully illustrated book, full of detail and colour… Not only is this a counting and rhyming book, it also provides some clear explanations as to unfamiliar terms covered within the text.
