Description

Written and illustrated in Australia by Ted Prior. Grug was showing Cara how he could swing on a rope. When he fell heavily to the ground. Cara pushed Grug on to the ambulance and pulled him towards the bush hospital. But the ambulance rolled over and Grug fell out… Children love these books. They listen to them, learn them off by heart and learn to read them.

Decades ago my brother Anthony I grew up with Grug. Grug is the top of an Australian Burrawang Tree, which was struck by lightning. The top fell off and became Grug, whose first objective was to find himself a home. He then meets some new Australian bush animal friends and has plenty of adventures.

It was a pleasure to introduce my nephew Alexander to Grug, who remains a firm favourite. Alexander loved listening to the stories from just a newborn, he learnt to read them for himself and continues to do so. Created by former Novocastrian Ted Prior, Grug had been out of print for perhaps 15 years, and the entire series of 24 stories were reprinted a few years ago. There are now 34 stories in the series, with Grug the Superhero released in October 2014, followed by Grug gets Lost, Meets a Dinosaur & has his first Easter in 2015.
