The Grumps: Oh No I Gave My Brother a Haircut

Book Two in The Grumps series • Ages 5–9 • Humor • Siblings

What kind of mischief do the Grump brothers get into on a boring day stuck inside?

In this hilarious and heartfelt installment of The Grumps Series, brothers Bobby and Willie are having the worst day ever—no school, but Dad says they can't play outside with friends. The sun is shining, and all they can do is dream about biking, climbing trees, shooting hoops, and cloud-watching.

After hide-and-seek loses its fun, big brother Bobby gets a wild idea: "I've watched Dad do it—I'll give you a super cool haircut!" Little Willie is nervous but trusts his brother... until the clippers buzz and the scissors snip, turning his wild Grump hair into a total disaster that looks just like a Christmas tree!

Tears, giggles, a sneaky cover-up with winter hats (in warm weather?), and a family lesson in honesty follow as Mom and Dad help fix the mess. Perfect for kids who love sibling adventures and learning that mistakes can lead to big laughs and even bigger hugs.

Vibrant illustrations bring the lovable green Grumps to life in this charming tale of brotherhood, boredom-busting gone wrong, and the joy of forgiving family. Ideal for ages 4-8—great for read-alouds that spark discussions about responsibility, trust, and trying new things (safely!).

Join the fun with Bobby, Willie, and the whole Grumps gang! (Book 2 in The Grumps Series)
