The Grumpalump Sarah Hayes (Author), Barbara Firth (Illustrator)

Even listeners too young to know the difference between a gnu and a yak will love the sounds of this cumulative tale, as a parade of animals confronts the mysterious grump lump, which just lies there--a big multicolored pile of stuff--resisting the animals' attempts to get it to do something but grump. Large print and lots of defining white space make this a terrific just-one-more for story time.
