It’s the kind of story that begs to be read aloud, with bouncy rhythms, made-up creature names and plenty for young listeners to giggle at.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAt the centre is the Frumpling, a lonely little creature with a reputation problem. When an honest conversation finally happens, everything starts to shift — and a very long bath becomes the turning point. Beasley’s warm illustrations do a lot of the storytelling, capturing both the silliness and the townsfolk’s gradual change of mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for children aged 4–7, storytime groups, and families who love humorous picture books, gentle social themes and classic fable-like tales.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePop it in your basket and meet the Frumpling for yourself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52720060104980,"sku":"9781761600340","price":25.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781761600340_1.jpg?v=1782721351","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/the-frumpling","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
