The October 1999 School Library Journal reported "This original narrative poem written and told by American storyteller Travis Edward Pike is a wonderful story laced with thought-provoking themes. Pike’s superb skill as a storyteller elevates the tale to a rare level. The rich language and Pike’s voice variations paint vivid pictures in the listener’s mind . . . The musical background (composed by Pike) and sound effects add to the humor, poignancy, and drama. An outstanding choice for school and public library collections." It's that sort of critical acclaim that inspired us to bring Grumpuss back in this 2013 Dual CD set. Pike’s original 1998 studio recording of his award-winning epic narrative rhyme, rescued from the archives, has been remastered with fresh recordings of his original music and the sound effects its audiences love. The Grumpuss 15th Anniversary Audio Theater Edition is brighter and better than ever. Rather more like a large surly cat, With tremendous paws and gigantic claws And jaws that can crush armor flat!” CLICK THE CD COVER TO HEAR VERSES FROM THE RHYME.
