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 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 !!

    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.

Topics

In my 16 years as a mum, I’ve learnt a thing or two about time savers and time suckers. For instance, looking for misplaced footy boots, school books or chargers is a complete time sucker. On the flip side, the ultimate time savers are the unsung heroes of the home – the clever appliances that make everyday tasks simple.

Westinghouse appliances are the masters at freeing up busy families to have more time to do what they love (or look for those missing footy boots – FYI they’re usually in the car!).

Keep It Cool, With A Friendly Fridge

Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB)

Just like mums and dads, fridges are absolute workhorses of the family, but do you just ever wish your fridge could just get what it’s like to be busy? The game-changing Westinghouse 609L French door fridge (WHE6170BB) is a bit of a mind-reader. It just knows what a family needs! The FlexSpace Fully Convertible Drawer does whatever you need it to.

With the touch of a button you can chill drinks, freeze meat or store deli meats for school lunches, with five different settings. No need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back. We also love, love, love the Dual Freezer Storage which gives that much-needed extra space.

Whether it’s storing leftovers, freezing, or controlling humidity, this fridge is happy to help the family keep its cool. Literally.

Make Dinner A Sprint, Not A Marathon

One of the most hectic times of the day revolves around getting dinner on the table for the hungry hoards. It’s usually a race against the clock in between sport, dance and music but with the Westinghouse 60cm multi-function pyrolytic oven (WVEP6918DD) fast heat up time it means dinner is cooking in record time. And with the ability to air fry frozen food without defrosting and clean itself using PyroClean it means there’s more time for catching up with the kids in between school and activities. It almost like having your own sous chef. Another Westinghouse appliance that’s happy to help!

Less Dish Stress

Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB)

My family know I absolutely hate a sink that’s overflowing with dirty dishes. The easier it is for everyone to help, the more likely they’ll do it! Westinghouse 60cm freestanding dishwasher (WSF6608KXB) are bursting with features that are all aimed at calming the chaos – with room for up to 15 place settings, fast wash cycles and fast drying – and they’re quiet. Wash overnight, and everyone can pitch in during the morning rush!

More Laundry, Less Time

The never-ending story of my house is The Laundry. I’m sure the laundry hampers are bottomless pits which are never truly empty. At least with the Westinghouse 10kg EasyCare 700 Front load washing machine – WWF1044M7SA everything is geared to getting the washing done quicker. Which means you can do more in less time – so good.

The Full Load 60 gets an entire load done in 60 minutes or less. The higher spin speed gets more moisture out of your clothes, which means less drying time, and you can set the timer so the washing is done when you’re ready for it. Everything points to spending a whole lot less time in the laundry!

Dry In No Time

Westinghouse 10kg front load washing machine (WWF1044M7WA)

Finally, to the true unsung hero of the house – the dryer. Westinghouse 9kg heat pump dryer (WDH904N7SA) is created to take care of your clothes, while making sure they dry in the quickest time. I love being able to throw a load in the dryer and by the time I’m back from school drop off and ready to start work from home, the clothes and dry!

Whatever you’re doing around the home, Westinghouse is happy to help, by making your life easier so you can spend more time doing the things that matter. Time with our family really is precious and goes by in the blink of an eye. So things like a fast wash, quick freeze and an oven that’s at temperature quickly add up to less stress and more time.

  • I have all I need with no longer working I have the time to do everything during the day. I don’t need any of these now. Could have done with them when the house was full though. Working through the night then coming home to do all the housework and organise meals was stressful.

  • I wish I could have all of that! It would be amazing!!!!

  • My oven has an overwhelming number of functions. I just don’t know how to use them all, or even why I would. Still, it’s good to have. It’s good at the basics, and maybe one day I’ll have a visitor who wants to use it and knows how to use it to its’ fullest.

    Reply

  • I LOVE the sound of that oven! Even though mine is a newer model, it takes forever to heat up! I don’t have the kind of time! It’s also important the have that nice large capacity so you can fit everything in. I love that this one also air fries- how clever!

  • These things were all lifesavers for me when the house was full with young ones running around and a husband who needed clothes for the following days work. Unfortunately it no longer matters. My boys are adults now and my husband passed away a few years ago so I have plenty of time to waste. I’m at home all the time now

  • Saving time, resources and of course money on laundry jobs is always one of our highest priorities when it comes to housework and chores. Laundry jobs can be so very time consuming and having appliances that have terrific performance and save in key areas is absolutely essential for our busy family.

  • It is amazing what technology can do these days, the things they come up with to help make lives easier. These appliances are so stylish and fancy, I want them all in my house. We all need a bit of luxury in our homes and these would be awesome to have. A girl can dream right.

  • Aw these are the coolest looking and smartest appliances ever and they could make live easier for sure ! With a rental property and limited amount of space I would never be able to fit such great and smart French door fridge, but boy would it be handy when there’s no need to shuffle things from the fridge to the freezer and back !

  • We do like to buy and use appliances that save time and use less energy. We always buy appliances that offer short cycles, particularly for the laundry because it is so very important to use less energy. We always check the appliance rating and read the reviews for use and for value.

  • Im so amazed at how many new features and gadgets these home appliances have now compared to when i purchased mine 7-9 years prior. I love when appliances can connect and make my life easier! My new fridge alerts me if the doors open via my phone and i can change its settings when i need anytime on my app

  • The oven features a pyrolytic self cleaning cycle that burns off all the dirt and grease. Westinghouse product push or just recognise we all work hard and need good tools .Thank god we can now review products until the cows come home and get the best one to do the right job .And what about pleasure and reward I received a Hisence 85 inch TV last mothers day and it is just so good I love it .It only cost $1500 form JB .So don’t forget its not all work pleasure counts also

  • We will be looking for a new fridge soon as our current fridge is making noises and we’ve had it for over ten years. Westinghouse will be on our shortlist as it has been around for as long as I can remember and is a trusted brand. The online reviews are all so positive too.

  • I desperately need a new washing machine as mine is 11 years old and just isn’t doing its job anymore and I worry about the amount of water and electricity the big old girl uses for a wash. I would love a front loader again as I had one years ago.

    Reply

  • Thank you so much for your review of all the Westinghouse range of whitegoods. I just know I will be up for a new fridge/freezer before too much longer as well as a new washing machine. Nothing lasts forever, does it? I have always used Westinghouse and will be replacing the fridge/freezer with one when I need to do so but I was interested in the washing machine information as I wasn’t aware they made those. Love that it is still an Australian brand with some things still manufactured in Adelaide as well.

  • Energy efficiency is what it is all about nowadays and so important . I think it’s the number one item we all look for, next to price. Then comes all the mind reading and amazing features on offer with modern appliances. So many things there to help the modern family.

  • I recently got a new Westinghouse washing machine and must admit… new technology is a win. Even simple things like self dosing the laundry Detergent saves time! And brain function! And I don’t have one but the heat pump dryers are not only smart, but energy efficient, saving bill stress every month!

    Reply

  • Im all for anything that saves time and these look pretty amazing, especially the washer and dryer. I have 4 kids and I feel like my washing machine and dryer is constantly running. I honestly can’t keep up. Just when I thinkk im at the bottom of the basket, someone cleans their room and it’s full again 🤣

    Reply

  • I didn’t realise that Westinghouse had such a good range of technologically advanced appliances. It’s good to know for when I’m in need of new white goods.. I really like the look of the Westinghouse French Door fridge. The FlexSpace drawer sounds amazing. Big improvement on my current fridge. Amazing technology.
