The Misadventures of Grumpy Cat and Poke...

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle

Cute collection overall. This graphic novel contains multiple stories centering around Grumpy Cat and Pokey with a variety of cartoon-y artwork. Overall, it was a good read.

The stories cover a good range, from mysteries to time travel to superheroes to aliens and ghosts. There's a little bit of everything. And to tie it all together is Grumpy Cat's characteristic cynicism and Pokey's contagious optimism. While the stories vary, the characters are always fun in their own way.

Brave Benny - Kristen Petersen,Anatasia Teslova

The Christmas Bunny's Wild Adventure - Alma Hammond,Zuzana Svobodova

Arial the Youtuber - Mary Nhin,Jelena Stupar

The best of this bunch are - Little Squirrel Squish (3.5 stars) about a squirrel who wants to be a reindeer. The Christmas Bunny (4 stars) about Santa's bunny helper, Brave Benny (3 stars) which is about animals getting ready for winter. It has the best pictures but I don't understand how a deer pounced joyfully and at times the illustrations were too dark for the word printed over them.

Arial YouTuber is nice because it has extras that would interest a child, including a recipe and how-to guide. (3 Stars)

Grumpy Dinosaur and Dragon's Breath (3 star) aren't bad but the lesson is a bit heavy handed.

Mariko and the Magic Mirror is a good look at grief and death for children, but feels off because of the use of culture that isn't fully explored or used. (3 stars)

The worst is the Singing Horse (.5 star) which uses stereotypical illustrations of Native Americans. I mean, living in teepees in the desert bad.

One of the things I love most about my local library is that they are always up-to-date on important occurrences. The passing of the beloved Grumpy Cat was no exception. I, myself, was pretty bummed to hear the news. There's a special place in my heart for the grumpy little snuggle ball, Tartar Sauce. But when I saw a display at the library featuring popular Grumpy Cat books, my frown was a little less sad and I couldn't help but pick this one up.

This is a funny book filled with humorous Grumpy Cat sayings. I was a little disappointed that the same pictures are used over and over again. It would have been nice to get some variety. But it was still a fun, quick read to help me cope and it was good for a few chuckles.

The book includes a hilarious crossword puzzle, an entertaining word search, and other fun games as well as a series of Grumpy Moments montages. A few too many hamster murder jokes for my taste, but on the whole a very good book for fans of Grumpy Cat.
