Reviews

"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.Its an excellent story that finds a little humor in taking uncontrollable frustrations and impatience to the extreme."Kidlit is Magic

"Hard pencil lines portraya monstrous interpretation of impatience inthe 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
