Description

What could be worse than getting sick and missing a fun night out at the theatre? Having to spend a boring evening at home with a grandfather who would rather sit on the sofa and read the newspaper than play games.
Although Annie's grandfather doesn't want to play Candyland or Chutes and Ladders, he offers her something much better -- the story of the Chess kingdom, a fascinating place where two kings and two queens fight for power and a small army of girl foot soldiers have the opportunity to become princesses if they reach can the castle of the other king.
Before long, Annie is caught up in the story of Pawnie and her thrilling quest to become a princess... and captivated by a real-life game of chess with her grandfather.
Explaining the game and how each piece moves through an enchanting fairy tale, An Evening with Grandpa offers young readers a unique and engaging introduction to the game of chess.

A delightful story and a very clever way of introducing chess to children. A SILVER MEDAL WINNER.' The Wishing Shelf Awards
