What People Are Saying:
Mae Lam rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a cute and short Christmas audiobook about the main character Grumpy, an iguana living in Miami. He prepares to visit his family in the Florida Keys. Grumpy’s animal friends help him with his preparations. The green parrot bought him a bus ticket. Mr. Squirrel gave Grumpy gifts to bring for his family.
I like the setting of the audiobook because it moves away from the whole romanticized “white Christmas” and shows that Christmas is just as great in warmer climates. I also like the realistic steps that a person would need to take when visiting their family.
A good moral that stood out to me is the importance of spending time with family over the holidays versus receiving gifts.

The first Grumpy story I have had a chance to read. Incredibly cute read and short, perfect for a bedtime story around the holidays about Grumpy that wants to surprise his family.

‘Grumpy goes home for the holidays’ is an extremely powerful book which focuses on sharing and caring. The author used Mr Grumpy beautifully to show how little things in life can truly make one happy. This story not only provided an insight on caring for your family but also reflects on sharing with friends to bring smiles. Therefore, this book is a perfect recipe for introducing the concepts of love and compassion to the kids.
Arika Conley rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is such a sweet book, it has excellent themes that you want your child to learn about. The importance of family time over gifts at Christmas, and how special time together can be. Thoughtfulness, Generosity, Kindness, I give it 5/5 stars. Narration was great, my 3yo asked to listen to it over and over.
Jessy Alvarado rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A cute Christmas story that my 6-year old enjoyed. She is an animal lover and prefers animal characters. The fact that my daughter usually can't sit still but sat through this eight-minute audiobook indicates how much it caught her attention, and she would probably like the picture book. I like that it mentioned different creatures. It is the first book we read in this iguana and parrot series. I'm not sure how big a part the parrot usually plays, but in this story, it barely comes out. It can be read or listened to as a standalone. Netgalley gave me an audiobook copy, but I was not required to provide a good review. I thought the narrator was fun and fitting for children's books.

Oh my kiddo loved this! Grumpy's homecoming experience was heartwarming & we loved his reunion with his family for Christmas. The narration is perfect for bed time listening & evokes vivid imagination, Me & my son have heard it many times now & can't wait for the next instalment of Grumpy, the green parrot & squirrel.

This is a cute Christmas book in a great series for children. Grumpy is wanting to go home to Key West for Christmas. Thanks to the help of his friends and their kindness he is able to make his wish come true. This is series teaches children about environment concerns and helping others. It’s a great way to start conversations. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book!
Beverly Manring rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The book demonstrates the love for family.. it really isn’t about the gifts it’s about being together. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I found this book to be quite charming. I will be recommending for sure…
Natalie Horman rated it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Grumpy Goes Home for the Holidays is another adorable addition to this lovely, heartwarming series for children.
Each of the books I have reviewed in this series so far has been on audio so I cannot comment on the pictures inside,but the covers are always sweet.
Grumpy decides he should go visit his family for the Christmas holidays. Mr Squirrel (Grumpys friend) helps him out with his gifts and Grumpy sets off on a long bus journey to visit his family. As always, it doesn't go quite to plan but love, family and friendship saves the day.
I love listening to these short stories - they are all always so heartwarming.
