The Brave Little Grork
By Kathryn Cave
Illustrated by Nick Maland
When you're shy and easily frightened,
you have to be very brave. Especially in
the deep, dark wood where the turple lives.
"Hurrah for the brave
little Grork!"
This is the Grork.
He is shy and easily frightened.

About writing
The Brave Little Grork
I was the youngest in my family. My brother and sisters were all bigger and braver than me. Most things made me panic (spiders especially). So I know what it feels like to be the Grork. Now I'm grown up, of course I'm not frightened of anything. What 's that? There's a spider on my shoulder? Aaaaarghhh!
"Ssh," he whispered.
"It might be a turple . . . "
"This delightful tale, with attractive illustrations, shows how brave the little grork is: depite his anxieties he continues on his journey to the wood, and so confronts his many fears."
