Customer Reviews

a family favorite

This is definitely one of my favorite books - my son laughs every time we read it. The perspective on monsters, and the combination of adult and child humor make it a great son for my son and i to read together.

The Story of Grump and Pout

My daughter and I originally found this book in the library. She absolutely loves it! It's the story of two monsters named Grump and Pout who live in a forest. Obviously with names like Grump and Pout they are not the most charming monsters but they have a chance to change their ways. Even though the pictures are of monsters they are not scary! It's illustrated by Sandra Boynton who has done numerous board books for 9 to 24 month olds. It also has a very funny ending that's written on two levels for both children and adults. Plus it's a great to read out loud. This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it.

An amazing, laughable monster story!

When reading this book, every page makes my son and I laugh. We've read it to friends, and everyone finds the writing hilarious. It offers such an unusual view, and the illustrations enhance the humour. It's great for all ages!

It's all about comfortable shoes.

This is a favorite book in our family. We recently shared this book with our daughter's kindergarten at story hour and they loved it! I hope the author(s) and publisher will seriously consider re-release.
