Granny Pegg's Great Chase&Granny Grinalot's Day in the Desert

by Linda Talbot

Overview

When Granny Pegg loses a leg to a hungry crocodile at the zoo, she is undaunted and gets a wooden one,for which she finds many uses, from rolling pastry to beating time to the band in the park. But, in "Granny Pegg's Great Chase" the best use for it comes when she apprehends a thief in the corner shop and chases him through the market. And what better catapult than a wooden leg, knicker elastic and a potato?
In "Granny Grinalot's Day in the Desert", a pet-loving granny grabs the chance to ride Snoots, a camel in the zoo. She takes with her Prattle, her pet parrot, and as she nods off, they are all soon plodding through the desert. But the day is hot, granny is thirsty and the nomads decide Prattle would make a tasty supper...
