Advance Praise

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun, light read. It is good for all ages. It has wonderful illustrations by Rob Jones...I wish there were more, a lot more and the witting is great. The story is original and always has good morals and a feel good ending. I love these books in this series for a fun read. All her books about Burly and Grum are the same fun adventures all with new, fresh storylines. I can't wait for more of them.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the Burly & Grum tales to my 7-year old son. The stories are dynamic, funny and very well written. They don't patronise or dumb down children which I often find is the case with kids stories. I'd love to read more like these!

I was unable to put this book down after the first few pages got me completely hooked. Kate Tenbeth's story is absolutely charming and I can't wait to read this to my goddaughter because it's so entertaining. If this was merely a good read, I would have given it 4 stars, but they say great art leaves you changed after you experience it and this book's illustrations are gorgeous. Every home should have a Burly Bear. Kate Tenbeth has, with one amazing work, propelled herself into the publishing world. Stuart Wakefield

Author Profile:

I live in Essex, UK with my son who is studying at University and my two cats Puzzle and Bud. I’ve always loved writing – I can’t stop! I’ve met many incredible people through writing, learnt a huge amount and had opportunities I’d only ever dreamt of – visiting schools and talking to children, running writing workshops at children’s bookshops and libraries – it’s been wonderful and I want to continue to write and work hard and build on what I’ve done so far, life’s too short to be sitting at home!
