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

Cute Story line and pics!

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

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.

My grandkids loved 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.

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 cant wait to Start a New Tradition

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

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.

Sir Paul & the Toronto illustrator

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

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...

A fun book for Grandudes to read to his grandkids.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021

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!

Loved this, what's better is that my grandchildren and great-niece and nephew also loved it. Ended up having to buy three copies! Babies range from under 1 (who loved the narration by Paul McC) to rising 5, including 2 of them in the USA!
