Synopsis

Grizzliness is out there. Every child has the makings of mischievousness, and can be lured into committing dastardly deeds. The six stories in each of the Grizzly Tales books show the rise and hard fall of vile and villainous children. In this book, unspeakable things happen to pets - but the real nasty little beasts are the children themselves, all of them get their comeuppance in the end, consigned to the Hothell Darkness ...We are completely reinventing the Grizzly Tales format for today's readers - ingenious concepts to link the separate stories, new design and illustrations, new accessible formats, but still capturing Jamie Rix's legendary brilliance for creating stories that linger in the mind long after the lights go out at night!

Media Reviews
'perfect for readers to carry on from Horrid Henry.' -- Jennifer Taylor THE BOOKSELLER 'it goes without saying that these were eaten immediately they entered our premises.' -- Justin Crow FAMILIES SOUTH EAST 'If you laughed at the fate of the spoilt kids in Willie Wonka's chocolate factory, you will love to hear about the perils that awaited sluggish Savannah who hated exercise, Monty, who bullied his sister and Cherie stone who hated fruit and suffered long-term constipation.' -- Angela Kiverstein THE JEWISH CHRONICLE 'all about horrible children who act in quite ghastly ways!' -- Susan Archer WOMEN'S WEEKLY 'fabulous... anarchic, vile, rude joy. No house of children should be without one of these.' -- Kati Nicholl DAILY EXPRESS 'funny and outrageous' -- Nichola Gale LEARNING SUPPORT
