The first in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning
author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler.
Mr and Mrs Grunt, who are neither clean nor clever, live with their
adopted in fact, abducted son, Sunny, in a donkey-drawn caravan
somewhere or other at some time that is a bit like now but not exactly
now. Sunny is an oddlooking boy, what with his left ear being higher
than his right ear and that kind of sticky-up hair which NEVER goes
flat, even if you massage glue into it and then jump on it. Together the
unusual family find themselves in frankly improbable but very funny
adventures involving bendy railings, double-barrelled shotguns, full-fat
yoghurt and, always, a beard of bees.
