Media Reviews
A domestic comedy wittily exploring a child's night-time fears, The Grump also captures the kind of disturbance familiar to families with small children...detailed and comforting illustrations bring the home to life, providing a safe place to explore fears of an intruder. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
Lovely line and wash...a lightness of touch and great handling of the paint...good use of light and shadow with unusual viewpoints. The illustrations glow...great colours. -- Neal Layton * Neal Layton *
A gentle family joke that invites young readers to join in on the telling. -- Louise Stothard * Carousel *
