Editorial Reviews

Review

“Hanging out with grandad turns out to be anything but boring…. Readers will roll up for repeats, and not just because of the name on the cover. —Kirkus 

“This picture book debut from the musical icon hits all the right notes in the tale of a cool grandfather, his magical compass, and his grandchildren." —Publishers Weekly

"McCartney does a fine job of upping the ante at each stop... the diverse group of chillers dash, crash, scurry, worry, and laugh about the magical events. In the end, it's golden slumbers, but the promise of future adventures is in the air.” — Booklist
 

About the Author

Since writing his first song at the age of fourteen, Paul McCartney has had an impossibly prolific and singularly influential career. In the 1960s, Paul changed the world forever with The Beatles. He didn't stop there, continuing to push boundaries as a solo artist, with Wings, and through collaborations with numerous world-renowned artists. He has received eighteen Grammys, and in 1997 was knighted by Her Majesty the Queen for his services to music. Paul's most recent album, Egypt Station, was his first one to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts.

Paul is a dedicated philanthropist, passionately advocating for many causes, including animal rights and environmental issues. He's also a very proud grandfather.

Kathryn Durst is a graduate of Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. With a background in animation, she has interned with Pixar Animation Studios, in addition to working with various children's book publishers. When she is not illustrating books, she can be found playing the accordion, growing vegetables, folk dancing, or putting on shadow puppet shows. She lives in Toronto, Canada, with her grumpy mini dachshund named Chili Dog.

Great book for the Grand Dude who is hard to buy for.
I bought the book and Grand Dude shirt for my husband's birthday. The Grandkids loved listening to him read the book. And we loved the book/shirt combo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Story line and pics!

It's a simple story, picture book, for I'd guess 2-6 yr olds. I actually bought this for me to have, being a Beatles fan, but my 11 yr old got a kick out of it bc Paul McCartney wrote it. I loved it and the illustrations too. The story line is very cute and imaginative. It's also a nice sized book w thicker pages, so it's well- made and should last. Nice book. Sir Paul did a great job. Kids will enjoy it.

Another lovely McCartney piece of artwork. The book is well-written, well-illustrated and the characters diverse. I gave this book to my grandkids, who loved it and not long after that discovered that McCartney also wrote classical music (Standing Stone, with the London Symphony Orchestra). The man's talent knows no bounds. Buy the book; well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for the grandparent that loves the Beatles
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is for our family's Granddude (my father in law) that loves the Beatles and has created a legacy of Beatles lovers. I read this to my toddler before wrapping it up because she was so intrigued by it. She loved the vibrant pictures and the verbiage. She repeated a lot of the words because they were new and different. The way the book reads is so fun and you can feel Paul's presence like you're hearing a conversation with him and his grand kids ("chillers"). This is based on what I've seen from his stage banter and interviews.

I bought this and several other books I will be reading to my new Grand Child when he or she is born in a few months. I am excited and the fact that it is written by Sir Paul from the Greatest Band of all times, I cant wait to teach my new Grandbaby all about the music that changed everything. Thanks, Sir Paul, I bought all your Kids' books and will record my voice reading them and narrating with sound effects and will present the recording to my daughter as a gift for the baby just in case Oh Pa is not always around. Life is Funny that Way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sir Paul & the Toronto illustrator
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019

Bought this as a gift. There was a slight printing error on 1 page but I didn't want to bother to exchange it. It's a sweet book but not so engaging but of course the allure of Sir Paul & all makes it a charmer. I was delighted & did not know beforehand that the illustrator is a fellow Torontonian & grad of my alma mater so congrats, that's an honour to create the images for this story & the images are 100% excellent; actually, the illustrations make the book...

My husband is a Beatle fan “big time”. He also just became a Grandude for the third time. A great gift for any Grandpa but especially one who’s a fan of the Beatles. He loved it. It would be even better as a gift from his grandkids! Of course it’s makes a good gift for Grandpas to give their grandkids too!
