Grumpy Cat Awful-ly Big Comics Collection

All of Grumpy Cat's comic adventures are collected in this volume.

This volume is a compilation of all of Grumpy Cat's comic adventures, including 29 stories of Grumpy and her brother Pokey. Each story is roughly a dozen pages or less and can be consumed in one sitting, so they are great for short attention spans. The stories are disconnected and non-linear à la Looney Tunes. The art styles vary because different artists contribute to each comic.

Many of the jokes may go over a child or even a teenager's head. For example, Grumpy says in one of the stories that her worst nightmare is Nickelback making a Creed cover album. These little nuggets are left for parents reading with their children to enjoy but will make the volume seem dated in the years to come. Parents may have to explain some of the other jokes to their children.

The language is more advanced than what younger children may know. The language combined with jokes that would read like nonsense to children make this a good read-aloud title for young kids. The rhyming Christmas story "Grumpus" would be an especially fun read-aloud.

Recommended for older children who are comics fans, especially those who like Garfield and other sarcastic humor. Also suggested for parents to read to younger kids. Grumpy Cat meme fans will also like learning more about the character.
