Young children got the chance to meet the book’s Grandude and Nandude characters, as well as have their photo taken in the green submarine.
Tanya Vian-Smith, deputy publicity director for Penguin Random House who organised today’s event, told that people had been queuing up outside of the store from 8am in order to get their hands on a copy of Grandude’s Green Submarine.
Tom Hawley, bookstore manager said the book was destined to be a success judging the high levels of interest from young customers.
Tom said: “It’s beautifully written and I think it will be more successful than the first book.”
The book’s title is of course a nod to the Beatles song Yellow Submarine.

On the book's title ( "Grandude´s Green Submarine "), Paul said: “When I wrote ‘Yellow Submarine’ it was just before I was going to sleep in that sort of nodding off period. I was imagining the scene and I imagined the place underwater, like a submarine parking lot with submarines in all colours of the rainbow, so there was a red, green, yellow, blue, etc.
“So I’d always seen more than one submarine.
“I chose yellow for this song but always felt that I left out the others, so with this I thought it’d be nice to re-introduce my idea in the form of a green submarine, which also gives a nod to ecological aspects.”
The submarine will then move to its permanent residency at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, where Paul personally decided to donate it.
