Grumpalot

“Hiss... Ss... Ss...” Grumpalot snarled showing his razor teeth. He was always hissing and spitting with his pink tongue shooting out.

Meet Grumpalot, a grumpy goose who is terrorising the riverbank. Find out just why he behaves like this, what the riverbank creatures do about this unhappy goose and if Grumpalot has a softer side. Children will enjoy meeting the characters and looking at the colourful illustrations. They will also enjoy joining in the grumpy goose sounds!

Mary Byrne pursued a career in primary education, firstly as a teacher and then as Head of School. She has been motivated to write by young children and their love of stories. Mary always aspired to deliver a creative curriculum and instil in children, a love of learning. Grumpalot, her first book, has been inspired by riverside walks, observing and photographing the characters along the riverbank, watching the engagement of young children as they actively interact with and enjoy the antics of the riverside creatures.
