About this deal
I enjoyed the discussions around Neanderthals (Big Noses), Homo Sapiens (Straight Noses) and Big Foots (Bogey Men). This is a good thing; stories that can be appreciated by kids of different ages are valued in our house as they make bedtimes easier. This has been a bedtime story for my small ones (four and six) over the last week or so (one chapter at a time.) Grant died in Edinburgh on 23 February 2014, leaving his wife Elizabeth, children Euann, Niall, Kirsty and Andrew, as well as six grandchildren.

Each chapter is self contained though possibly a little lengthy for our bedtimes and each tells an episode in the life of Littlenose. He originally invented Littlenose to entertain his children, but failed to find a publisher until BBC commissioned him to both write and present his stories of a little Neanderthal boy who was always getting into trouble. These proved a great success, and he went on to write and illustrate over 13 Littlenose books between 1968 and 1993.
