A formidably grumpy Grump meets a formidably joyful little girl who much to his dismay, endeavours to make his day.
From the depth of his pout, to the heft of his hump, it was as if he were born for being a Grump, that Krumpp, and he was, or at least he believed it. He hated everything and to him with good reason: they were too shiny or tweezed, or too stuffed with cheese.
Passersby called him names and they wrote him off as a mean old, bean-cold unlovable lump. But, there was one, a little girl who wasn't so sure there mightn't be more to that Grump, Old Krumpp, than that frightening scowl and humpmongous hump.
If not her, it would have in truth been no one. So, she'd do it herself, she would: un-grump the grump. And what was her plan? Well, if you can believe, it started with krumpet, and it ended with tea.
"The illustrations are absolutely stunning."
My son wanted me to read every word he found in the details. The story explains so much more than what's in the text.
"A fresher, younger Edward Gorey."
Wow, just wow. Hope this becomes a classic for new generations of young'uns, and adults too.
"Such a fun read."
The illustrations are incredible, and the story was overall fun to read along. Will definitely recommend to family & friends with children for a fun & enjoyable read.
