How I Lost My Ear (Grandpa Gristle's Bedtime Tales)

"An extraordinary imaginative achievement, utterly delightful, and a pleasure from start to finish." --Andrew Norriss, children's author and winner of the Whitbread Award for Aquila

The new laugh-out-loud novel from author Adam Beck and illustrator Simon Farrow. A wildly entertaining page-turner for both children and adults, to read alone or read aloud.

Grandpa Gristle spins the story of a book-loving boy and his spiraling adventure with a state champion marching band, a moody grandmother with beautiful blond curls, a long-lost hero and his three-legged moose, a dancing bear, a poisonous spider, a baby-snatching owl, a shaggy yak of a man and his snapping turtle, a cold-hearted sheriff and his grinning deputy, a herd of 144 spitting llamas--and a very large, very hungry ogre.
