Synopsis
The Grump is very scary – he leaves a mess wherever he goes, gobbles up everything in sight, and has a deep, rumbling growl. But he may turn out to be not such a scary monster after all...
Editorial Reviews
"A domestic comedy wittily exploring a child's night-time fears, The Grump also captures the kind of disturbance familiar to families with small children...detailed and comforting illustrations bring the home to life, providing a safe place to explore fears of an intruder." - Julia Eccleshare, Guardian
"Lovely line and wash...a lightness of touch and great handling of the paint...good use of light and shadow with unusual viewpoints. The illustrations glow...great colours." - Neal Layton, Neal Layton
"A gentle family joke that invites young readers to join in on the telling." - Louise Stothard, Carousel
