Publisher's Synopsis
Grumbly and Gruffina Grumpadinkle are always grouchy. Their mood is always gloomy, the weather always glum-and not a single soul could make the Grumpadinkles smile, chuckle, or guffaw-not even a teehee! Until, that is, little Wendy asks the cantankerous, cranky couple to watch her puppy. "We've never had a dog before," Grumbly says. "It sounds like he could be a chore." With a grumble or two, the Grumpadinkles relent, and find themselves puppy-sitting a rambunctious, playful pup that makes a mammoth mess-icky eggs, shattered plates, and spilled milk everywhere! Find out what happens when a rascally pup turns their whole house-and grumpy lives-upside down. Russ Towne's The Grumpadinkles delights children and adults, keeping them giggling with every fantastic, whimsical rhyme. Each vibrant page of artwork illustrates a life lesson for every child: how a simple act of compassion (even when you're feeling sad) can turn a frown upside down and open the door to new friendship. Towne is the author of eight captivating children's books. For ages 3-7.
