A wickedly funny series for ages six and up from the creator of Where Bear?, Pass It On and the Pom Pom series, with colour illustrations throughout.
Jeanie’s Grandma is BAD. Not bad like a vampire or a gangster or anything, more like . . . up to no good. Sometimes she can be a bit embarrassing but most of the time she’s REALLY fun, especially when she gets Jeanie involved in her mischievous schemes. Everyone says she’s old enough to know better . . . but she doesn’t seem to care one bit. In fact, Jeanie thinks she might quite like it! Bad Nana is a deliciously wicked new series for ages six and up, told through the eyes of 7 3/4-year-old Jeanie. Gorgeously illustrated throughout with vibrantly coloured spreads, Bad Nana’s naughty exploits will shock and appal – and make you snort with laughter! TweetReviews
I loved reading this book with my class. So humorous, witty and inspiring in the way that it is written. Would recommend to every child with a strong writer's voice and sense of humour.
I liked this book. I can’t wait to read the n next ones in the series. I would recommend it
So this book is about a nana called bad nana and she does bad stuff like robbing the bank. But, she hides this stuff from small children because she wants them to have fun. At the end, she goes home and finally relaxes. I like the character bad nana because she’s so funny and has good skills. I would definitely recommend this to a friend I know.
Funny
I thought this book was very bizarre but also funny.
Especially when bad nana crossed out all the park rules and saw the park officer turned red
It was very funny.
One of my favourite books! I love this as the front cover said older not wiser - very mysterious!

this book is fiction and my favourite person was the bad nana. I do recommend it because it is very funny.
funny ,well worded, the best book i've ever read
I loved the characters, I loved bad nana. It was like all of my book dreams had come true!
A visually appealing book suitable for KS1 children who are starting to widen their reading beyond picture books. The three short stories are funny and many children will relate to Bad Nana's giant handbag with its mysterious contents, Liberace the cat with his singularly expressive face and Georgina Farquar-HaHa, the Meanie. Everyone should have a Bad Nana in their lives.
I like this book because the main character was a granny that liked pink and did not like following rules. I would recommend it.
This is a really funny book and I think lots of other people would like it too!
It was good. I liked bad nana best. I’d recommend it. I liked the illustrations
I found it very fun I now wish I had a grandma like that
Sort of enjoyed it, liked the colour and was funny
Cheeky funny and only slightly naughty!
It has been a very long story but I have been liking it as it only make me even more excited to read it. As it is a very long story.
My favourite character was Jeanie. This was a good book.
I liked the story a lot because bad nana was sometimes up to tricks and once or twice it made me laugh. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes fiction and likes seeing minor problems solved.
