This is the second "Grumpy-book" I am reading... well... listening, read by Trevor Goble. (He is just great, again!)
I love these little creatures, being very polite and helping out each other, and the message of the book is strong, timely and important. Yet, I find the story unnatural and somewhat forced. It gives us opportunity to discuss issues like environment, pollution, friendship and speaking up, which is good, but I expected a lighter and more funny approach - this is a children's book after all.

I thank NetGalley, Susan Chapman and IBPA for this Advance Reading Copy.
