Amir's worried about the monster under the bed! What if it has huge teeth and growls like a lion? What if it tries to eat him up? And what if the monster has a mum and dad too? But Dad reassures Amir that if the monster family comes to play, then Amir might just make a friend instead.
A timeless tale of monsters under the bed, Grobblechops is based on a story by the thirteenth-century poet, philosopher and Sufi mystic Rumi.

Reviews / Votes
' "Grobblechops" is a delightful story about family and an innovative take on the monster under the bed trope brought to life through Jenny Lucander's quirky and original illustrations. We really love that this is a reimagined tale from philosopher Rumi, bringing a centuries old text to life in a new and exciting way. It is also a great book to explore overcoming fears within your setting."' - Seven StoriesMore details
