A new baby can make for a busy family, but the Gags machine is always there to help out.

A new baby means a hectic household for the whole family. Luckily Gags, the narrator’s grandmother, is always around to help – turning into the Gags machine when the house is in need of a good clean and dinner must be made. But Gags also has time for fun stuff like playing dress up and going to the park. And when there is so much to pack for the family holiday to the beach, Gags is a great help too – but everyone soon learns that even Gags machines need a rest.

An enjoyable early reader with valuable themes such as new siblings, imaginative play and the importance of family help.
Written by Australian author Catriona Hoy with charming illustrations by Annabelle Josse.
Walker Stories support beginner readers making the transition from picture books to chapter books in an engaging, entertaining and accessible way. Each title features three highly illustrated, individual short stories linked by one character, so readers can build familiarity and confidence.

Industry Reviews

Our Gags takes us on a journey into life with a wonderful, capable Grandmother and leaves us knowing her frailties. It's hard to believe so much could be packed into an early chapter book. It is both precious and timeless. I know more than a few grandchildren (and Grandmas) who will treasure this tale. * Kids' Book Review *
