Grandpa Frank doesn’t have any interesting hobbies, unless you count complaining about how everything was better in the old days. He doesn’t speak Italian like Paolo’s mom, or play the drums like Tom’s uncle. He’s just a grandpa. So when the young narrator of this story is forced to bring Frank to school for show-and-tell, he’s sure it’s going to be a disaster. But Frank has a trick—make that a tattoo—up his sleeve! And a story to go with it. After all, the longer you’ve been around, the more time you’ve had for wild adventures.  Praise for The Frank Show STARRED REVIEWS “Mackintosh’s busy, helter-skelter images contribute mightily to the story’s humor and emotional honesty, but it’s the willful personalities of both of these protagonists that make it stand out.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review  \"This humorous and heartwarming tale will inspire children to seek out their own grandparents' treasure trove of stories.\" —Shelf-Awareness, starred review  \"Pore over the funny details, soak in the humor (the things-were-a-lot-tougher-in-my-day spread had me in stitches), appreciate the very specific mood Mackintosh so successfully creates in this story, and delight in the illustration, lettering and overall design, all handled by the talented and overachieving Mackintosh.\" —Kirkus Reviews blog  \"Mackintosh writes with irreverence, and his illustrations are packed with prickly humor... But Mackintosh also draws with emotional sensitivity and empathy.\" —The New York Times online  \"Old-timey gripes gain zest from Mr. Mackintosh's exuberant and colorful collage illustrations.\" —The Wall Street Journal  \"Complete with lively pen-and-ink illustrations, this offbeat picture book is sure to become a family favorite. Along the way, it may prompt children to wonder what exciting details their grandparents have yet to reveal about their own life stories.\" —BookPage  \"The cartoon illustrations are very funny. Frank’s oversize glasses with a missing right temple enhance the mood.  A sweet story that proves that elderly relatives can be cool after all.\" —School Library Journal  \"As a lover of vintage and vintage-inspired children’s books, I was instantly enamored with The Frank Show by British illustrator and designer David Mackintosh — a charming homage to grandparents and the art of seeing beneath the grumpy exterior.\" —Brain Pickings  \"The art is appealing as well; digitally created scenes pulls together planes of vivid color, a multitude of small elements outlined in black scrawls, and elements of collage.\" —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  \"Reminding readers that everyone has a story to tell, this picture book  is fun to read while providing insight into human character.\" —Reading Today Online  Awards: GOLD - Parents' Choice Award Winner, Picture Books","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589105000721,"sku":"GOR009510263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50276760420625,"sku":"CIN1419703935G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1419703935.jpg?v=1750891218"},{"product_id":"my-dog-hen-book-david-mackintosh-9783791375359","title":"My Dog, Hen","description":"Brimming with the lively artwork and waggish humor that make his books a joy for kids and parents alike, David Mackintoshs newest book explores finding value in the unwanted and obsolete, through the pleasures and perils of adopting a rescue puppy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49592314921233,"sku":"GOR012569832","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49653047656721,"sku":"GOR013655991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745222369553,"sku":"NGR9783791375359","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063203168529,"sku":"NIN9783791375359","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51770843857169,"sku":"CIN3791375350VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53138897633553,"sku":"GOR014769014","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3791375350.jpg?v=1751423178"},{"product_id":"whats-up-mumu-book-david-mackintosh-9780007463060","title":"Whats Up MuMu?","description":"MuMu is not quite MuMu today  we all have days like that.

He doesn’t play sports, and he doesn’t watch television. So when he invites everyone in class over for his birthday party, it’s sure to be a disaster. Or is it? Marshall Armstrong might have a trick or two up his long, “sun protective” sleeve.  David Mackintosh’s story, with its bold design and sharply humorous observations, is a highly original take on the popular theme of the difficulties of being the new kid and making friends.  Praise for Marshall Armstrong is New to Our School « “Mackintosh’s beautifully underplayed text and genial drawings manage to be empathic to both the leery narrator and the serenely outré object of his misapprehension. Without a whiff of pedantry, Mackintosh (Rex) skillfully dismantles the narrator’s defenses and bonds him to Marshall Armstrong, all the while proving that fun doesn’t always fit within the confines of one’s comfort zone.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49894976782609,"sku":"CIN1419700367G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50484987527441,"sku":"CIN1419700367A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51700654637329,"sku":"CIN1419700367VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1419700367.jpg?v=1750891212"},{"product_id":"golf-s-greatest-eighteen-book-david-mackintosh-9780071413664","title":"Golf's Greatest Eighteen","description":"Today's top golf writers debate and rank the sport's greatest champions.

When Leo’s mom announces that there will be a surprise at dinner, she unknowingly sets in motion a riotous chain of events. What could the surprise be?! Leo and his brother are desperate to find out. Could it be a bike? A pool? A new car? Their imaginations run wild until they latch, with utter conviction, onto what surely must be the answer: an all-expenses-paid, two-week trip to Hawaii! Perhaps not surprisingly, the brothers are soon proven wrong. But the ingenious way their family decides to cheer them up poignantly reminds us that, sometimes, embracing what you already have is enough to make you feel “lucky.”","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374548095249,"sku":"CIN1419708090G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50656076792081,"sku":"CIN1419708090VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1419708090.jpg?v=1751083763"},{"product_id":"hello-space-book-david-mackintosh-9780565095789","title":"Hello Space","description":"Hello Space is a clever and visually imaginative picture book which takes a whistle-stop tour of the solar system in search of life in outer space.

Lincoln Green's own mother can't tell the difference between him and You Know Who. With his handy stand-in taking care of all the chores that just can’t wait, Lincoln Green has plenty of time to do the things he wants to do, like drink fizzy sarsparilla and shoot the breeze.   But Lincoln Green’s not the only one who doesn’t like doing things they don't like doing. It's not long before You Know Who has teamed up with Billy the Kid Next Door, which is a lot more fun than doing things for Lincoln Green, that's for sure. And that's when Lincoln Green finds himself in BIG trouble.
