I love books that build up with each page. Mr. Grumpy goes out for a boat ride and children + animals ask to join along one by one. Then as the boat fills up (spoiler alert), it topples over and all of the animals and children fall out. Oh…and Mr. Grumpy too. 😉
I love the illustrations. Ink inspired, it’s not as cartoon-y as some other illustrations.
As for the tip, the double page spread was really the climax of the book and the only double page spread on the book. As the only one, it shows the importance of the scene. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Today’s book: Mr. Grumpy’s Outing by John Burningham.
