Grumparar's the New Creatures, An Adventure and Field Guide

At last we learn what those fleeting images of movement are, the ones you often see out of the corner of an eye, but which quickly disappear when you turn to look! They are the New Creatures. With the aid of the magical Grumparar, we join the author on his journey to the creature’s homeland where he befalls adventure, mystery, and narrow escapes, as he seeks to learn more about the host of funny, warm, and frightening New Creatures. And—as if that isn’t enough—along the way we find answers to many of life’s imponderables: how sneakers get holes, where houseflies go in winter, and how mountains talk to one another, to name just a few. The text is well-illustrated with dozens of creatures and maps, while an included "field guide" pictures and describes over 200 New Creatures. Conceived by artist T. E. Breitenbach, well-known for his humorous Proverbidioms series of paintings, this is an imaginative, allegorical adventure like none you have ever been on. So, sit back, put your feet up, and prepare to be entertained!
