Review Quotes

'Bogade's homey, cartoonlike illustrations offer plenty of expressive detail and gently comic moments... A simple, affectionate story that will undoubtedly meet with demands for repeat readings - Scottish brogue required.' --Booklist

p>'Whatever the need or emergency, Granny can meet it. It's all in the bag ... What she can pull out of the bag defies reason, and that's the source of the fun.' --The School Librarian

'This is a pleasant title for youngsters just starting to understand the concept of preposterous things.' --School Library Journal

Bogade's illustrations have a merriness to them, filled with bright colors and playing up the effect of pulling huge items from a small bag. The humor of the entire work is well reflected in the images.' -- Waking Brain Cells blog
