Great Uncle Stanley

Rubery Awards 2022 - Katherine Lane/Tom Wells: Runner-up Illustrated Children's Books category
 
And here's what the judges said:
 
'The book is about the frightening power of imagination and the consequences of adults’ careless remarks. It’s very funny and has unusual, strong illustrations.'
 

An illustrated book aimed at 4+ year olds. Children are often more attentive than we give them credit for. Parents aren’t. Kevin is an enterprising little boy who is interested in all sorts of things, but his mother is not impressed and constantly tells him he will end up like Great Uncle Stanley. Not unreasonably after hearing his mother’s cautionary tales, Kevin imagines his Great Uncle Stanley with only one hand, a burnt head and squashed by a steamroller. So when Great Uncle Stanley eventually turns up one day, Kevin is first terrified and then astonished to discover that he is perfectly normal.
