Review

It is fall, and Grizzle Grump is looking for a place to sleep for the winter. He finds several places that look very good, but noise at each place--from a woodpecker, a beaver, frogs--keeps him awake, making his anger grow. He finally climbs a snowy peak, enters a cave and SLAMS the door until spring. He falls asleep and disturbs all of the creatures that disturbed him with his huge snores. The illustrations are hilarious. Repetitive text will encourage young children's participation in telling the story. They will get the irony. They will love this book!

Overall Book Score: very good
