Travelling with Granny in London
Who hasn’t thought that visiting Grandma when you were young a bit of a bore? Does she smell like cabbage like the granny in this book? Does she just sit and knit and do nothing? Are visits with her boring? Well,that’s what Ben thinks but then she takes him to the Tower of London to see the crown jewels! -Well kind of. She actually goes on her own under the cover of darkness and then tries to get Ben to help her steal them!
Why not go and see the jewels in daylight hours and pay to get in to see them? – The Tower of London – Image what Gangsta granny would have had to do?
Why not visit a prison where Gangsta granny could show you how prisons used to look like back in the olden days? Kids love a bit of gore!
