When Johnny, who loves to make things out of wood, decides he wants to build a grandfather clock, but the only person who believes he can complete it is his friend Susannah.

Will Johnny be able to build his very own grandfather clock, with only the help of Susannah and Joe the Blacksmith?

Johnny loves to make things. Whenever he has spare time, he can be found hammering and banging and sawing up pieces of wood. But his parents don't think much of his hobby — to them, it’s just a noisy, nonsensical, and very dusty activity. So it comes as no surprise that when Johnny decides to make a grandfather clock, they advise him to do something “useful” instead. Only two people believe Johnny can do it — Susannah and Joe the Blacksmith. And of course, Johnny himself. This beautifully illustrated story is an engaging reminder that even difficult tasks can be achieved.

Recenzijas

4 stars - A lovely tale of a boy with determination! www.bettybookmark.co.uk The clear print and eloquent illustrations would make this a good present for someone who has just learned to read. Spectator A classic, evergreen tale from the master storyteller/ illustrator. A gentle, funny tale of perseverance against the odds. Irish Examiner How grateful I am that Frances Lincoln are allowing the book a fresh chance to claim its place in the pantheon by more than matching the quality of production of the earlier editions. Books for Keeps
