Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionWhen a human comes to the forest and sells custommade shoes to the monsters, bringing them previously unknown comfort, Grump no longer grumps and Pout no longer pouts.From Publishers WeeklyGrouches and monsters, surely among the most appealing of characters to most children, give this book a fine start. And in the case of this husbandandwife collaboration, the result is a deliciously silly story whose hairy, ornery protagonists are beguiling indeed. All the other monsters avoid the irascible Grump and her only slightly less cantankerous husband Pout. But when Pout acquires a pair of the most wonderfully comfortable shoes, he finds his mood improving; and even Grump cannot sustain her ill temper in the face of her new shoes and Pout's generosity in buying them for her. McEwan's text and Boynton's cartoony illustrations are packed with droll expressions and witty details: images of the newly transformed Grump dancing with happiness are sure to strike the funnybone, as are the comments and observations of the other, rather timid, monsters throughout. All ages.Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.From School Library JournalGrade 14 Grump berates all of the monsters in the forest, including her gloomy husband, Pout. When the village cobbler comes in search of new customers, he improves the monsters' lives with custommade shoes. After he replaces Grump's worn, uncomfortable shoes with snazzy new ones, her grumpiness vanishes, and her marriage flourishes. The monsters hold a dance to celebrate. Boynton's pastel monsters and humorous pictures can't rescue the inane plot. The fullcolor illustrations vary in size, ranging from twopage spreads to comic strip format with four or six panels per page. However, the visual interest can't overcome writing that often seems aimed at adults rather than children. When the cobbler tries to convince the monsters to try his product, for example, he sounds like a bad television commercial. Shoes can also keep your feet from getting tired, and can even relieve the backache that comes from improperly supported feet.'' Boynton lovers, podiatrists, or cobblers might get a kick out of this, but everyone else will probably find it as flat as fallen arches.
