Mon ami Grompf #8

The eighth volume of this charming French all-ages series from Glénat finds the lovable giant Grompf in fine, boisterous form — the cover shows the enormous, roaring creature swinging on a vine while clutching a wide-eyed blue-haired kid, all set against a lush green jungle backdrop with a school building peeking through the foliage below. The subtitle Classe sauvage perfectly captures the wild, playful energy radiating from this 2012 adventure. A delightful pick for young readers who love big laughs and even bigger furry friends.
