"This charming and touching little book helps children deal with the control issues they have with parental authority. Explaining, by easily understood example, how difficult it is to live in a world with no structure, the Grompet shows Lisa that her parents discipline her out of love. Lisa decides, on her own, to listen to her mother, and this allows her to retain her sense of self whilst doing what is right. I remember this book from when I was difficult little girl, so long ago, and I do think it helped influence me to behave a bit better."
"This was one of my favorite books as a child. The story has a great lesson about how when your parents have expectations of you as a child, it means that they love you. The art work is fabulous and the friendship between Lisa and the Grompet is infectious."
