'This is a very funny story about two children and their amazing granny who you will be as fond of as they are by the end.'

'Whatever the need or emergency, Granny can meet it. It's all in the bag … What she can pull out of the bag defies reason, and that's the source of the fun.'
-- The School Librarian

'Bogade’s illustrations have a merriness to them, filled with bright colors and playing up the effect of pulling huge items from a small bag..'
-- Waking Brain Cells blog

'My daughter thinks this story is hilarious and even though she knows what is in Wee Granny’s bag she laughs out loud every time we read it’'
