Grumpy Feet

The imaginary friend of a very grumpy little girl is determined to cheer her up in this lovely story that celebrates imagination, friendship, and sharing. Lily loves to draw, but today something feels different. Things feel a little frumpy and bumpy, just not so and not quite right. Her pencils are too pointy. Her paints are too sloshy. And her crayons are too stubby. Even her friend Bear can’t help, until they realize that Lily has Grumpy Feet! It takes a special friend like Bear to turn Lily’s day around!

Grumpy Gramps can often be found taking an impromptu nap under a tree on a bright sunny day, when he believes he is away from prying eyes. However, his young grandchildren are often in hot pursuit to catch Grumpy up to his usual tricks. Grumpy is a cantankerous old chap who is shy of hard work and loves nothing better than getting the upper hand over his long-suffering family with whom he resides, his daughter Maggie and her three children Clara, Emma and William. They love having a day out together but these trips usually result in Grumpy getting into some kind of a scrape.

Something is not right. The day is too rainy, the teapot too dribbly and Lily's sunshine colour is missing from her crayons. Oh no, she's woken up with Grumpy Feet! What can her best friend Bear do to turn the grumps back into the jumps?

Everybody in Peking knew that the former palace of Prince Kong was haunted by a hulijing. Irreverent Americans were actually pleased to share their home with a fox fairy, especially on learning that the mysterious animal could transform itself into a beautiful woman, who had been glimpsed sauntering in the gardens of the Red Chamber Court by moonlight or gliding between the columns of the covered walk.

The Adventures of Grumpy Tortuga serves as a reminder for both children and adults that life is more colorful outside of your comfort zone. With a friend by his side, Grumpy Tortuga is able to embrace his fears and test himself in gentle ways.
