Mr Grumpy was so grumpy that the birds didn't fly into his yard. Dogs crossed the road rather than pass too closely. Mr Grumpy didn't welcome or speak nicely to anyone or anything. If Mr Grumpy had another name, people had forgotten it because he had been grumpy for so long.

Mem loves stories and can remember every one told to her. Point has a talent for noticing things and then pointing them out. Together, they use their gifts to help Mr Grumpy lose his rumpy.

The Adventures of Mem and Point children's book series teaches about the value of friendship and community. Suitable for primary school age children.
