Product Description

Mother Goose is a single mom who has to endure all of her pets' capers. No matter what, she loves Grimmy, the irrepressible bull terrier she thinks of as her baby.

Grimmy is a dog lover's dog. Happy-go-lucky, he's a bon vivant with a hefty appetite for fun, mischief, and yesterday's trash. He loves overindulging, chasing cars, and hanging out with his buddy, Attila.

Attila is the high-strung cat who lives with Mother Goose and Grimmy. Hardly living up to his namesake, Attila is an endearing mix of neurotic apprehension and clueless gullibility. Despite his vulnerabilities, Attila craves understanding and a playmate, and Grimmy is always ready to oblige his feline friend with some lively antics.

Mother Goose's eccentric household has entertained readers for 20 years. Distributed daily and on Sundays, Mother Goose and Grimm appears in more than 650 newspapers nationwide, boasts a readership of 100 million fans, and consistently ranks as a favorite strip in newspaper surveys.

Customer Reviews

Great Fun
Any time I find life getting too serious, I just check in with Grimmy, and his antics are guaranteed to lighten my mood. Mike Peters has created a cast of lovably eccentric characters, and endless mischief for them to get into. Only one beef with the book... In the comic strips, one story line sometimes goes on for several strips, and those are usually the funniest ones. I would like to have seen those complete "series" in the book rather than just individual strips. Still, it's always good for a laugh.

This is a great highlight of Mother Goose and Grimm. It is a laugh on every page. I highly recommed it.
