Grumpy Cat and Pokey!: The Grumpus by Ben McCool, Royal McGraw, Ben Fisher, Derek Fridolfs, and Illas Kyriazis is a collection of short story comics about the lovable (much to his disgust) Grumpy Cat. This is the 3rd Grumpy Cat book, but it is my first.
Grumpy Cat is a lovable and fun cat. His comics are apparently hilarious to the majority of the reviewers out there. Most people think this comic book was funny and a downright great to read. However, I felt differently.
I give Grumpy Cat 2 out of 5 stars. I liked the short comic collection; this format is great for reluctant readers. I liked Grumpy Cat's statement of "I'm allergic to fun." Though, the things I enjoy end there.
All in all I felt Grumpy Cat and Pokey: The Grumpus! was random, boring, and lacked any real point or story line in any of the various comics. Even the stickers at the end (shown below) were random.
I love finding books for reluctant readers, but I feel there are other great books for reluctant readers in this age group.
Have you read any Grumpy Cat books? Am I completely off on my feelings this cat and his comics? I'm feeling like quite the party pooper, but at least I'm an honest party pooper. ;)
Happy Grumpy Cat comic book reading!
