The Grunts in a Jam

The third book in this hilarious series. Like 'The Twits' for a new generation, the Grunts are neither clean nor clever, but their adventures are most definitely terrifically fun reading. Created by two stars of the children's book world: Philip Ardagh's hilarious text is brought to life with illustrations throughout by Axel Scheffler.

This quirkily comic series by multi-award winning Philip Ardagh and Axel Scheffler is packed with ingeniously implausible adventures!

The third book in this superlatively silly series sees the gloriously grubby Grunt family head to a country fair so Mrs Grunt's mother can enter her homemade jam in the Preserves, Jams and Jellies Competition. There's nothing in that plan to suggest they'll encounter sabotage, bad poetry and prison, is there? Hmm. This is The Grunts we're talking about.
