Klappentext zu „The Great Grrrrr “
Meet an impatient monster with serious anger management issues!The Great Grrrrr works for an express delivery service. A monster on a mission, he must deliver a package to a cottage in the country. But, when the recipient isn't home, he becomes increasingly frustrated and then angry. Just when he has destroyed the cottage out of an explosive bout of rage, the homeowner shows up and everything changes. The Great Grrrrr learns to manage his anger issues and finds patience and perhaps a new perspective on life. This hilariously entertaining book takes frustration and impatience to a ridiculous extreme and finds humor in uncontrolled emotions no toddler will fail to recognize. Expressively illustrated by Marjolaine Leray in sketchy crayon drawings with bright neon second color to accent the visual drama.

Pressezitat
"This French import is, by all accounts, born for storytimes. . . . just delightful, right down to its endpapers."-Betsy Bird, Fuse #8/School Library Journal"Ever have the cover art of a picture book immediately draw you in? That happened to me when I received this book just yesterday. And after reading it, I knew I had to share it with you all right away.Where this story really shines is with its illustrations. Drawn in sketchy crayon with shades of gray against neon pink, the drawings exude tons of emotion and add so much to the drama that builds throughout the book. It's an excellent story that finds a little humor in taking uncontrollable frustrations and impatience to the extreme."-Kidlit is Magic
"Hard pencil lines portray a monstrous interpretation of impatience in the two-tone illustrations of this picture book. . . The dark lines of the Great Grrrrr contrast with soft shades of pink on the grandmother and her cottage in the expressive illustrations".-Foreword Reviews
