The Big Grimwood Giveaway Tour!
This week, we are partnering with Simon and Schuster Children’s Books to give you the chance to WIN one of three Grimwood book sets!
The Grimwood books have gone down a storm with readers aged 6-10. These stories are wacky, anarchic animal tales full of nonsensical mayhem. The books appeal to KS2 for their dark and quirky humour that will delight fans of Dahl or Mr Gum, and for their high image-to-text ratio.
Grimwood – Popular Books for KS2
At the start of the Grimwood story, Ted and Nancy are urban fox siblings, whose parents fled the city leaving the cubs to fend for themselves. Nancy is tough and protective, whereas Ted is the younger, less mature and more lonely cub. The story follows the siblings from their city den and scavenging from the Speedy Chicken bins to escaping to the sanctuary of Grimwood – after an unintentional encounter with a spoilt, greedy cat called Princess Buttons.
As well as the humorous appeal, readers will find plenty of discussion points in Grimwood, such as the relationship between the fox cubs, the changes in their personalities and the desire to find refuge. The book could work as a class reader and a fun and quirky independent read for KS2 children.
BooksForTopics recommends this series on our Best Books for Year 4 booklist, books for KS2 Reluctant Readers and Branching Out lists for Fans of Dog Man, Fans of Bunny vs Monkey and Fans of Roald Dahl. You’ll also spot the books among last year’s Week Junior Book Award Shortlist and the Laugh Out Loud (Lollies) Book Awards shortlist.
