This book fits neatly into the transition between picture book and graphic novel. The story is easy to follow, like a picture book, but relies heavily on the images to convey information. The characters tell us as much through facial expressions and body posture as they do through dialogue. Even the grumpy badger, the titular Mister Grumpf, is a pleasure to follow. This is a book that kids reading independently can enjoy but also a decent one to read together.
