Grumble Rumble Mumbler
Author(s): Melanie Drewery
'The Grumble Rumble Mumbler' tells the age-old story of a child that cant get to sleep because of night noises. The reader is introduced to a cast of Mâori monsters not just the taniwha, but also the maero, taipô, and the ngârara - who help children see the funny side of the things that go bump in the night. It is a light hearted story, filled with love, and a funny twist at the end. This fun children's book features picture flaps, which hide the monsters throughout the book.
