Gregory and the Grimbockle | Melanie Schubert
7 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
This is the tale of Gregory and the Grimbockle.Gregory is a young boy of ten who thinks he must be the most unfortunate boy who ever lived. He barely has any friends and is the object of jokes and jabs from his, often disagreeable, sister. If that isn't bad enough, poor young Gregory has recently developed an enormous and most peculiarly shaped mole beneath his nose.Imagine Gregory's surprise when he finds out that his mole is not just a mole, but is actually a humpy crumpy portal of skin that hides a creature called the Grimbockle.What is the Grimbockle? A very fine question, indeed.The Grimbockle is just one of the many strange little creatures called Bockles tending to the mysterious threads that connect all humans from one to the other. It is a very important job, and one that has long been carried out with incredible secrecy. That is before this one particular night and a most extraordinary turn of events.Thus begins a most peculiar sort of adventure where Gregory learns all about the creatures called Bockles and the mysterious threads called exoodles that connect us all to one another.

I read this book last year and it was cute, but the pictures are even cuter.

This story is a heart-warming tale full of imagination and adventure. I loved the friendship developed between Gregory and the Grimbockle and I enjoyed reading about the mysterious threads called exoodles that connect all the hoo-mans to one another. There were some important messages that children and adults will both appreciate. I highly recommend this book to everyone of all ages because it is oodles of fun.

I received the book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute story! I loved the idea of threads connecting everyone together and how important it is to strengthen those bonds.

I also loved the soundtrack! It‘s such a creative idea to add a musical score to the book and it really added that extra special something.

I just wished it was a tiny bit longer because I didn‘t want it to end.

I‘m almost done reading Ultimate Courage and afterwards will be reading Gregory and the Grimbockle. I cannot wait to start reading this because it also has a soundtrack!

QOTD: Do you listen to music while you read?

saradxxiii Almost never 😞 I just find it too distracting! 6y
Bourriquet76 Rarely, I prefer quiet if possible. 6y

DivaDiane I hardly ever listen to music when I have to think. It‘s too distracting otherwise! As a professional musician, I feel compelled to listen actively and that precludes other activities that engage the brain. 6y
Pamwurtzler Instrumentals only- at least that‘s what I prefer. On road trips all bets are off as my husband likes to rock out to the oldies. 6y
minkyb It is hard for me to read with music. Sometimes instrumental only works! 6y

This book starts out with a mole...on Gregory's face...and then a cockroach climb out of it! I forgot how strange and disgusting children's books could be haha! So far it's really though!
