He Says… She Says… by Anne Fine & Gareth Conway

Family relationships are key to children’s experiences and understanding of the world so books like He Says… She Says… are perfect for young readers. Playing with the funny side of intergenerational dynamics, it allows children to think about their own families and appreciate the time they have together.

Skye and Harry will be spending the day with their gran but Dad has told them so many stories about how strict she was when he was growing up that they’re not sure they want to go! Lots of chores, no screen time, hardly any sweets – it doesn’t sound like much fun at all. Skye and Harry are surprised to discover things aren’t quite as Dad described. Should they confront Dad about his fibs or use them to their advantage?

Readers will giggle along as they realise the truth about Gran and how she expects Skye and Henry to behave. They’ll also notice how Skye and Henry step up and really help out even when they haven’t been asked.
