Companion to My Nana is a ninja - in the interest of gender justice – but it features different characters. The same very distinct pattern of telling introduces a cross-section of Pops, who do different things in different ways – mostly hilarious and eccentric. One of them is a real pirate! The rollicking rhyme gleefully romps along, with an underlying reminder of the significance of Pop’s role in the modern family. Watch the comical and vigorous illustrations carefully and catch a glimpse of Ninja nanna. More of the unexpected pops up all through the book to keep young readers chuckling.
