Finding Granny
A rhyming picture book about children searching for their grandmother using visual clues hidden throughout the house — until they find her for a surprise hug. Inspired by my father's hand-drawn treasure hunts, the story teaches readers how to play the game themselves. The simple vocabulary and visual clues work for both readers and pre-readers alike.

"My five-year-old grandson got a big kick out of this book. He really liked the idea of granny hiding and the grandkids looking for her. This book is good for grandkids who can't read and those that can. For early readers, the words are simple and easy. Plus, rhyming words add to the fun."Nina Lewis — Grandma Ideas, July 17, 2023

"Finding Granny by Andrew Abel is a delightful illustrated children's book. The story follows two children seeking out their granny's hiding place, using clues left along the way. The story details the game so that readers can play it too. This fun way to play with the children is an interactive and inclusive way to include even the youngest readers. The illustrations pair wonderfully with the hunt for clues and offer bright colorful glimpses of the children as they play their game. Graeme Holding does a remarkable job of bringing this story to life with his talented illustrations. The story is written in a rhyming style, and the story and images are sure to please young listeners as they hear the story read and look at the amusing pictures as they follow along."Stephanie Lynn — Readers' Favorite, December 13, 2024
