Grumble-Stick, Grumble-Rope and Grumble-Mud live in a beautiful village where everything is provided for them. Unfortunately, this gives them very little to do and lots of time to argue! When a Gobblestomp upsets their peaceful home, can they learn to work together to fix their village and make a new friend?
This funny story celebrates getting along and keeping busy. It will ring true to many parents who've had to break up more arguments than usual over the lockdown!
Full of words like "Ogg!" "Agg!" and "Igg!" Meet the Grumblies is also lots of fun to read aloud. My children giggled at the bread bushes and fizzy juice pond (if only snacks were that easily accessible at the moment!) and they loved the Grumblies' silly antics.
Saldaña's illustrations are quirky and fun. The Grumblies' facial expressions are bold and easy to decode and there are plenty of bright, contrasting colours on every page. The Gobblestomp was a particular highlight in our house (just look at it in the picture below!).
Thank you Little Tiger for sending us a copy to review.
Meet the Grumblies is written by John Kelly and illustrated by Carmen Saldaña
