Grumbles From The Town

Gilbert Grumble is the most miserable Grumble in all of Grumble Town. Nothing he does makes him happy but his zany adventures are sure to put a smile on the face on the child in all of us.

About the book The Lucia Rider consists of three novellas, each self-contained. The novellas were inspired by a city or by a countryside or by a folklore, where the author was living or visiting.

Fourteen Mother-Goose rhymes enjoyed by generations of children are creatively presented as "poem pairs"—with a twist!—in this playful poetry picture book. Mother Goose has a few secrets tucked in her feathers! Did you know that the shoe loved the Old Woman and her many children? And that the three blind mice weren’t actually blind, only near-sighted? Or that Humpty Dumpty fell when skateboarding on a wall? Featuring wildly different voices and perspectives, this terrific read-aloud features with stunning illustrations and hilarious details. The book includes the original Mother Goose rhymes, endnotes that briefly describe their history, and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives and "create magic."
