The Frank Show

This is a read-along edition with audio synced to the text, performed by Stephen Mangan. There's more to Frank than meets the eye… A quirky, witty and utterly brilliant picture book from the award-winning creator of Marshall Armstrong is New to our School. Frank is your typical grandad, but no one has a grandad like him… If you had to stand up and talk, for one whole minute, about a member of your family, who would you pick? Everyone else chooses really cool people, like Tom's Uncle Marlon who plays drums in a band, or Hannah's mum with her company car. But there's nothing cool about grandad Frank… or is there? In this hilarious, wise and heart-warming story, awesome new picture book talent David Mackintosh shows with a supreme lightness of touch just how much the older generation has to teach us, and how much fun learning from them can be. Perfect for young boys and girls from 3+. • Strong message about how we shouldn't judge a book by its cover • David has also collaborated with several high profile illustrators in the past • David's first picture book, Marshall Armstrong is New to Our School is out now in hardback (9780007361410) and paperback (9780007361427) • Retail promotions with independent bookstores • Guaranteed review coverage and presence in parenting/lifestyle magazines and online.
