A Still-Grumpy Scrooge submitted by Meginator on August 22, 2022, 9:48am This picture book is an inversion of the traditional Scrooge narrative, with the grumpy protagonist never truly warming up to everyone else’s notions of Christmas cheer. The story has a layer of highly ironic humor carried both by the interaction of narration and dialogue and by Buce’s wonderfully evocative expressions. This is a nice change of pace from traditional holiday fare, and it is filled with a keen sense of mischief.
