Gorgeous to read with the children leading up to the big day, this is a future festive classic.Zoe West, Woman and Home
Little ones will love this festive tale about a grumpy monster and his dastardly plan to stop Christmas.Good Housekeeping, The best books to buy for your family and friends this Christmas
A genuinely hilarious, sweet story that has all the makings of a Christmas classic. Our six-year-old was regularly in bits as we worked our way through the chapters, while the amazing illustrations brought the story to life perfectly. This was a book we genuinely couldn’t wait to get stuck into each night and we’re already looking forward to hearing what the Grumpus gets up to next.Sarah Dawson, The Independent
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a spectacularly illustrated story by Alex T. Smith. This year's is about a latter-day Grinch intent on sabotaging the season. Things turn out quite Christmas Carol - but funnier.Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
