Auf jeder Doppelseite findet sich eine schwarz-weiß Illustration (mal klein, mal halb- und sogar ganzseitig). Grimwood is where I want to be.

Nadia was always destined for a career in illustration—as a child, she would doodle on her exercise books, while as a student she would doodle on her law degree notes. Then, when working as a journalist in London for pop music bible Smash Hits, she would doodle all the time on anything. The good people at Smash Hits didn’t fire her for doodling furry animals - instead they let her leave early to go to evening classes in illustration. This was a cute read, but I can’t quite put my finger on which students to recommend it to, My first and second graders could not get hooked - we even used it as a daily read aloud. It feels a little juvenile for fourth and fifth. Maybe I’ll try it with my own third grader this summer. Este libro está catalogado para el público infantil-juvenil, aunque yo os diría que es para todo tipo de públicos. An easy read funny book for mid primary aged students. Ted and Nancy a fox cub siblings tying to survive in the Big City with older sister Nancy the strong a fearsome protector, and Ted the quiet, nervous and cautious younger brother who desperately wants a friend but is too scared to go out and find one. All life includes loss. It's taken me many, many years to learn to deal with that, and I don't expect I'll ever be fully resigned to it. But that doesn't mean we have to turn away from the world, or stop striving for the best that we can do and be. We owe that much to ourselves, at least, and we deserve whatever measure of good may come of it.”

Laugh your head off with this fully-illustrated new series from award-winning Nadia Shireen. Perfect for readers age 7 to 107, fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, Mr Gum and David Walliams, and anyone who loves to laugh. Nancy is the tough one, and fiercely protective of her little brother Ted, who is a rather gentle soul. Yet, when Ted accidentally bites scary cat Princess Buttons’ tail off, the two foxes need somewhere to lie low. What better place than Grimwood, a faraway forest whose furry denizens play endless games of Treebonk, and tough talking bunnies frisk under shady trees? When two young foxes who have no parents around are just going about their daily lives, they could never guess at just how much trouble could come from biting down on what appeared to be a hot dog. Ultimately this book sees the two foxes move from their inner city life and head to the forests of Grimwood with no idea on what exactly to expect as they are simply given a map and told to head there following the hot dog incident. In Grimwood there are numerous animal friends and foes to be met and it is a great adventure for the foxes themselves but also for the reader too.

Grimwood is a forest far, far, faaaaar away. It’s full of trees and sky and mud and stones. It smells weird and there’s loads of litter and old shopping trolleys. But it’s also FUN and GREAT and it’s where scruffy fox cub siblings from the Big City, Ted and Nancy, have made their home with their crazy new gang of woodland friends. With regular interjections from Eric Dynamite (woodlouse) popping up and adding comments along the way, it's a story centred around two young foxes, brother and sister Ted and Nancy, parentless. But also gives us chapters from the perspectives of various animals around Grimwood, then brings the plots together. Silliness, adventure, friendship, and all sorts of unexpected mishaps and moments create tons of ridiculous humor with animals to root for.SciFi and Fantasy...: Accidental Time Machine discussion -- Other Favorite Time Travel Books, TV Shows and Movies

Shireen’s latest book confirms her as one of the brightest and best picture book creators working in Britain today ... Sensational.' ― Observer Dort leben viele skurrile und schräge Gestalten von Tieren, wie baumboinkende Eichhörnchen, ein Hirsch-Bürgermeister, jeepfahrende Dachse und schauspielernde Enten. Es wird also allerhand geboten und die Geschwister werden liebevoll aufgenommen und versorgt. This starts off cute enough with orphan foxes (well that’s kinda sad), and we learn that the young sibling foxes have a feud with the neighborhood cats. Ok, I can hang with that…what I can’t hang with is the name calling hurling insults, threats of physical violence and then the ACTUAL violence. In the process of this fued, the cat “looses” (by way of the fox) her tail and it gets nailed to the wall of the foxes den. Then the appendage is used to tease the cat and ultimately distract the cat while a bird comes down and decapitates said cat. WHAT?! WHY?! Grimwood is where I want to be.

Drawing and writing for a living is very much Nadia’s dream come true and we expect great things from this promising new author and illustrator. This book is full of unkind words, bad behavior, revenge, animal on animal cruelty (human personas) and violence. Would never let my kids read this, at ANY age. Such a HORRIBLE example of how to treat others.
