Praise for Mad Grandad's Robot Garden

'With his big square glasses, bulbous nose and free-flying eyebrows, McGann’s Grandad is a truly original creation. The illustrations, drawn from interesting perspectives, are imaginative and full of detail' Books Ireland

'With a real sense of zany fun, is Oisin McGann’s Mad Grandad series' Sunday Independent

'The illustrations work very well and really add to the atmosphere. McGann’s style is direct and very readable, and is excellent for the six-to eight-year-old early reader, or for reading to younger children.' RTE Guide
