Grumpkin



A hilariously gourd board book to share with your little one at Halloween.

Big whoop. Autumn is here. Too bad Grumpkin HATES Halloween.

Poor Grumpkin doesn't even want to BE a pumpkin, never mind embrace the spooky season! Join this sassy, squashy icon as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship and candy-corn-fuelled fun. With a loveable anti-hero, deadpan humour and fantastically funny illustrations from super-talented Siân Roberts, this hilarious board book shows children the importance of keeping an open mind and the possibility of finding joy where you least expect it.

Perfect for fans of I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen, The Bad Seed by Jory John and Pete Oswald, and I Can Only Draw Worms by Will Mabbitt.
