The story of
Grumpface had sort of a "Beauty and the Beast" theme. A man, who only
seeks to win the heart of a beauty, must complete a list of challenges when he
is captured by Grumpface. I guess the tasks would only represented the man's
worthiness of the fair maiden. The illustrations were simple and vibrant. I
especially liked the volcano rendering and I enjoyed the comical undertone
throughout. But I thought there were a few holes in the story line. It just had
some things that didn't quite make sense, and I also didn't take to the
language too well. Were kids even going to understand that? Rhyming was cute,
even though some of the lines were a bit too cheesy for my likes.
Overall, I
thought this was a cute children's story.
My rating: 3 stars
