Customer Reviews

We LOVE the Grumpies! (ALL three of them!)

I took this book to school and it has become an instant HIT! My class loves it!! The librarian loves it! The school counselor and attendance staff love it as well! What a delightful, FUN, warm and charming story. We love how The Three Grumpies shares that Grumpy Days just sometimes happen and ATTITUDE is EVERYTHING. The story is not preachy nor is it sappy - it is witty and well, just WONDERFUL. Our copy is already well loved and it has only been a week or so. We may need to order another copy soon! My kindergarten students want me to share that they think that the story is funny and that the pictures are "awesome" and that they would like another story from this author VERY SOON!

Bravo for Wight and Collins!

This is one of those books that kids ask for again and again, and refer to all the time. Everyone wakes with a case of the Grumpies on occasion. And when it happens to the narrator, she tries to get rid of them. The adults in her world offer reasonable advice but she figures this one out for herself.Your kids will wonder when the Grumpies are coming to their house--it doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all.

Excellent Children's Book!!!!!

This book is an excellent way of explaining to children why some days they just don't feel so happy. The illustrations couldn't be better. This book is written in a way that any child could understand. This book is a must have and a must read for every parent! I hope to see more books from this first time author.

It had my three year old hysterical!

The little girls makes children laugh as she tries to get rid of three unwanted friends, Grumpy, Grumpier and Grumpiest. My three year old loved the tricks the Grumpies played and the how the little girl tried to deal with them. We are now getting rid of our own bad moods by asking each other if we have the Grumpies! My son wouldn't let my husband in the house last night if he had the Grumpies with him! All of my first graders could relate to the little girl and even said that the next time they wake up on the wrong side of the bed their day will be eased because they will be able to think of this funny book!

Been there, felt that

Who hasn't gotten up feeling grumpy, grumpier, grumpiest?The little girl in The Three Grumpies is having a bad day, followed around from home to school and back by a trio of so-ugly-they're-cute critters. The story is clever and real, and the illustrations are just a hoot, with charming details like the little dog and the frazzled mom.
