by Marta Altes, Macmillan Children's Books, paperback, 5.99

This moving and memorable book about the very special relationship between an elderly grandfather and his adoring grandson offers a unique look at old age through the eyes of a young bear.Sometimes Grandpa behaves like an old man; sometimes he's like a child. Occasionally, he doesn't recognise his grandson; always they delight in each other's company.

Big-hearted, poignant and beautifully observed, it makes for a stunning picture book debut from Marta Altés.
