This week Granny’s Teeth have been to Crowlands Primary School in London where they got mixed up with a case of missing construction… The arrival of Granny’s Teeth coincided with a spate of crimes in our Reception classrooms.    After we had a visit from a police officer, our children were very interested in becoming detectives.
