Author's Synopsis
George Eaton and his sister, Tilly, are doing their homework after school. George is struggling with spelling. He's stuck on one word.
The kids hear the sound of a motorcycle pulling into the driveway. George and Tilly run outside to greet their granny, an odd woman with bright red pigtails that flap in the wind when she rides her cycle. Granny tells George she can help with his problem.
Read about Granny’s crazy caper that makes headlines in the daily paper, and helps George with his spelling.
Award-winning author Nancy Panko has written another delightfully illustrated story that makes learning fun, using a tool called a mnemonic. Following the story is a list of commonly used mnemonics for school-aged children, as well as an activity to do in the kitchen with a grown-up.
