Genre:
Children’s Picture Book
Description:
“Dan is a young inventor in love. He ventures into a forest looking
for a rose but instead finds the mysterious Grumpface who threatens to hold him
captive unless he passes some difficult challenges. What follows is a humorous
adventure that neither Dan nor the Grumpface could have anticipated.”
Author:
“BCR Fegan is a multi-award-winning author who has written a number of
fairy tales and fantasies for children and young adults.”
“His ravenous appetite for both reading and writing soon saw him
drawing on the transformational influence of the world around him to craft
short stories, poems and picture books.”
Appraisal:
What a fun kids story. I had fun reading it to my four-year-old
granddaughter, with its rhyming, lyrical language and a nice mix of things that
felt silly (aka fun, for a four-year-old) and serious. That my granddaughter
was giggling at the Grumpface (the guy in the book, not her grandfather) was
another good sign. We both enjoyed and my granddaughter hopes to revisit the
grumpy old guy (that would be the grandfather this time) for another reading of
The Grumpface.
