GRUG THE SUPERHERO

By Ted Prior

One morning, Grug wakes up and decides to become a superhero.

Wearing a cape and a mask, and a sword made from sticks, Grug and Cara, his best friend, transform the Grugmobile into the Zoom Zoom Car and head off to save someone. But the Zoom Zoom Car has too much zoom and Grug and Cara discover that if they can’t save someone else, they can at least save themselves.

  • Great for toddlers

    Grug is an easily recognizable character for toddlers. One of their first early books to be introduced to, it doesn't take long for the little ones to become avid readers. Grug is endearing and his travels and actions are simplied for easy understanding. Well done Ted Prior.

  • We love Grug

    My 3 year old boy is obsessed with Grug at the moment. I'm pretty sure we have the whole collection. He definitely has his favourites (Grug plays cricket) but they are such great books for little ones. They are short enough that they hold their attention until you finish. Everyone should have Grug in their lives.

  • Grug in the playground

    I remember back when I was a kid and my Mum would read grug to me and my brothers and sister. Now I continue on with the Grug stories with my 3 children and they are quite happy to listen to these stories. My daughter tells me that it's an old book if nan read it to me. Grug will always be a hit with kids.

  • My daughter and I read Grug everynight before bed.

    I enjoy reading Grug to my daughter as she gets so much enjoyment out of it, there so easy to follow for youngsters and its simple to understand and not too heavy reading before bed for little ones. The pictures are cute yet telling if your child isn't quite at the age of understanding the words yet.

  • Great Grug

    Silly old Grug, Cara and their Grugmobile are such fun for young children to read (or be read to). I love the fact that it is so silly and makes children use their imagination and get a love of reading. Grug comes in a whole series of fun books so they never get boring. Great value in a book.

  • Hooray for Grug and Cara

    Having a boy and a girl, I love finding books that have male and female characters, especially superheroes! I grew up with Grug and was excited to see them back on the shelves after I had first child. It's a great book for kids, with Grug and Cara as superheros, using their imagination and pretending (just like my kids), so they can relate.

  • Delightful addition

    A charming, simple tale, "Grug the Superhero" delights young readers with colorful illustrations and Grug's imaginative problem-solving. While sweet and accessible, the story lacks excitement for older kids. Perfect for early readers, it’s a nostalgic, light-hearted addition to the Grug series It’s a nostalgic, heartwarming, and light-hearted addition to the Grug series for bedtime enjoyment.

  • Memories

    I loved Greg when I was a kid, my nieces and nephews loved him too. Now my son is getting into the books as well. I love that they are so relevant, don't age, They aren't region specific and don't require too much explaining. Kids love the stories and the themes cone across so well, but aren't slapping you in the face. These are just great books.

  • Love Grug!!

    Greg was one of my favourite little books when I was a kid!!

    I remember the sheer excitement I would feel when the school library got another Grug book. I would have already read the rest.

    My kids now all have grug books too and they adore them! I also loved that fhey were included in the government packs for new babies.

    Go grug!

  • Grug The Superhero

    I have found a new book line for my grandson. Ted Prior Grug books are of high quality reading with a twist of a funny little Grug that is mischievous in many ways .His ability to encourage his little collection of friends on his journeys. Well presented at a most affordable price I will be looking for these Ted Prior books more often. I think the storyline in this book is every little boys dream to one day become a superhero.

  • Grug is a winner

    We have always enjoyed the Grug series. I gave Grug the superhero to my young nephew and it was a real hit. He absolutely loves it and dresses up as Grug with his pretend sword and grugmobile. I'm sure he will get a real love of books just from this start to his Grug collection.

  • Grug to the rescue

    The Grug series of books are really great to encourage young readers to have a love of books. Children love to look at the colourful pictures and hear the funny stories that go with them. How Grug and Cara discover as superheroes they can save themselves is very clever. This is a winner.

    Grug is a classic that has been around for a long time. What a lovely book to stimulate children's imagination. Most children imagine being a superhero and it's great to see how funny Grug looks.

  • Fun easy to relate to stories

    Grug is great for early stories to encourage literature and language in the magic of books because the stories show how life has it ups and downs in a simple and straight forward way . I collected a series of these and all of kids loved them! Keep them coming, I recommend these to families who want to encourage their child to love books !!

  • Great little book

    Our kids love me to read them books before bedtime and really any time of day. I received this book as a gift and have to say it was really good. The boys love super heroes so they loved the illustrations :) it is wonderful to read books and think this is being lost in such a technological age.

  • Still Grug-ing along.

    Well we are nearly up to Christmas 2015 this book has become a favourite it may be a little tatty from wear and tear but who cares. This wonderful story still delights and the illustrations certainly hit the heights..Grug you are amazing and I have you in my sight.

    Oh how Santa always brings the best and most loved presents. Grug is a favourite, always was, still is, and always will be. This book has large print with amazingly colourful illustrations, this lovable long haired character is always looking for a wonderful adventure and this book is perfect to read at bed time, or as my youngens would say lets snug with Grug. No sticks aloud but we can turn the bed into a Zoom Zoom car. This book is a ton of fun.31ST DECEMBER 2014

  • A little legend.... Grug

    This little guy is a family fave - the books mean I get lots of cuddles on the couch as we read, and the words are easy enough, and we know them well enough that my son says the words with me, so this helps with his recognition of words. We sometimes make up our own Grug stories too, so these are the series of books that keep on giving!

  • Absolutely love Grug

    Grug has always been a childhood favorite of mine. Growing up in NSW I can remember during school library days the whole class would migrate straight to the library's back wall where the Grug books were to see who could get one they hadn't read before anyone else grabbed it.

    When I saw they had been re-released I knew I had to get them for my own children.

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
