Excerpt
She grabbed the keys for her old SUV, briefly looked around at the house ensuring that everything was in order, and then hastily shot out of the front door. Grandmamma Dalila rushed into the garage, pointed the remote at the big rusty SUV with the over-sized truck tires. HMMMMMMM the little motor hummed as it released the access ladder that was safely stored under the SUV. Grandmamma Dalila stretched her short little legs as high as she could and carefully climbed up the wobbly ladder. She waddled like a duck as she settled behind the huge steering wheel. UNNNNNNT UNNNNNNNT UNNNNNNT. The SUV spluttered as Grandmamma turned the key in the ignition. Again, she tried. UNNNNNNT UNNNNNNNT UNNNNNNT. With every tick of the clock, Grandmamma Dalila became more anxious. “What to do? What to do?” she scratched her head in a panic. “I’ll just have to get out the three-wheeler motorcycle with the sidecar.” But as Grandmamma Dalila started preparing her new mode of transport, she realized that there would surely be too much luggage. She would have to hitch up the old wagon. With a loud BOOM, the garage spat out the three-wheeler with Grandmamma Dalila perched comfortably on the padded seat. In the shadows, a little mouse coughed and rubbed his eyes. But Grandmamma Dalila had one thing on her mind and that was to get to the airport to collect her grandchildren. She zoomed up the highway with the wind hitting her face and the old wagon swinging from side to side. She hadn’t felt this happy in a long time. She yelled, “Yes! Go girl! You’ve got this!”

This was a good read for my eight year old

I gave this book to my daughter to read, she enjoyed it. She liked the adventures they went on. She said the grandma was the best! When I gave my daughter the book to read she was in the middle of watching videos, with her head in the computer screen and I thought she could use a break. First she was unhappy about it, but then a little while later I saw her reading and chuckling. After the book she couldnt wait to tell me all about grandma and the kids!
A fun Story
A fun story with lots of different characters. This story takes you back to childhood. Or to the childhood it would have been good having. Interesting creatures and interesting story.

This is a cute book. The author has a great imagination! The "adventures" they have and the ability to get a child (or an adult) to use their imagination when reading this book is great. The only negative I would say is, that there are a few grammatical errors that could be fixed. Otherwise a delightful book!
