Country of Origin: The Netherlands Twelve stunningly illustrated, poetic and funny stories about grumpy animals from an internationally acclaimed Dutch writer and a hugely popular French illustrator. In twelve short chapters, we see different animals in various states of anger. Some try to understand their anger, some try to tame it, while others let their anger overwhelm them. These stories are funny and wry, but also offer a gently profound reflection of the nature of human emotions. Marc Boutavants delicate, stunning full colour illustrations put the reader in the heart of the forest, surrounded by endearingly grumpy animals. This beautifully produced hardback makes the perfect gift for older children as well as adults.
