I recently reviewed Tracey Corderoy's picture book featuring these disgustingly brilliant characters. This book is aimed at a slightly older audience who are just moving beyond pictures books to their own little novels and is a wonderful transition book. With Three short stories and plenty of fun illustrations to keep little ones interested, moving to 'big kid books' has never been so much fun.
The Grunt and The Grouch will delight boys and girls alike with their truly disgusting antics. My daughter thoroughly enjoys these books and didn't want me stop reading. The language is also still very simple and is particularly suited to young readers to practice their new found skills, something I've found difficult to get just right when trying more advanced books for my daughter than her usual picture books. Tracey Corderoy gets everything just right for her target audience; language, characters, plot and fun factor. I'd highly recommend these books to boys and girls aged 5-8 years old.
