My lovely and super talented friend Tania McCartney is releasing a new children’s book titled Riley and the Grumpy Wombat. I’m taking part in her blog/book tour by giving away a signed copy of her new book. Here’s a little about it:
Riley has discovered a wombat in his nanny’s garden. But why is this furry creature so grumpy? Join Riley and his friends from books one, two and three, as they zoom around the stunning sights of Melbourne in search of a wombat that simply needs a place to call home.
Featuring gorgeous black and white photos of Melbourne and surrounds, Riley and the Grumpy Wombat combines photos, illustrations, adorable characters, humour and an adventuresome storyline in a travelogue-style book that showcases Melbourne at its very best.
To be in the running to win a signed copy of Riley and the Grumpy Wombat, simply answer the following question: What makes you most grumpy?

What makes me grumpy? Definately not enough sleep!
My sons name is Riley so would love to win this book for him 🙂
I am not at all pleased when I spend ages digging and planting in my lovely garden then find, a few days later, that snails have eaten my seedlings. Grrr.
What makes me extremely grumpy is when I'm doing the laudry and I lift the lid on the washing machine, ready to hang out the washing, and then I see tiny, little pieces of TISSUE all over the clothes! Someone's forgotten to empty their pockets…again!!! Grrrr!!!
Lack of sleep!! This book looks gorgeous 🙂
People with bad manners make me grumpy! What an awesome book with beautiful Melbourne pictures!
hmmm there are a few things that make me grumpy, definately not enough sleep, rude people, parents who run late all the time to pick up there kids making my working day extra long,my kids constantly figthing …..
Cute book, I love reading to the kiddies and I am sure they would love this one…
no sleep makes me seriously grumpy. like I turn into another person.

What makes me most grumpy is the sponge/scourer left wet in the sink! ring it out people!

what makes me grumpy is when my hubby uses all his spare time to play games, though it melts my grumpiness when he reads our son a bedtime story every night with funny voices and all 🙂
What a fantastic book! Not enough sleep makes me grumpy.
Bad hair days!!!
What makes me the most grumpy is a combination of lack of sleep and then my beautiful children squabbling over nothing and all through the day!
Little boys who don't use the toilet properly are frustrating, and cleaning up their messes makes me grumpy. Big boys who don't use the toilet properly make me not just grumpy, but furious! They should know better!
Lack of sleep and then not getting my morning Cappuccino through the drive thru coffee shop quick enough
Oh so cute!! I'm doing a giveaway too as a fellow fan of our gorgeous Tania, just stopping by to say hi ho & how cute is this post, love Posie

I am most grumpy when the children keep finding excuses to stay out of bed… I want some quiet time with dad before he goes to sleep, just get in to bed!
Peope who don't put their trolly's away at the supermarket! Dianne

liver cleansing diet….work colleagues comment last week…you must be off that diet, you're not bad-tempered anymore! Maybe I was just HUNGRY!
Definately a lack of sleep… it's precious to me
Loving all the Grumpy comments, everyone! Keep them coming!
My son Riley has said that 'It makes me grumpy when Samuel hits me' (we have just returned home from a birthday party where the birthday boy hit Riley!!!
Getting no sleep when my little ones decide to take over my bed i get out of bed like a bear with a sore head.
What makes me grumpy is when I haven't organised my day well and don't have enough time to snuggle up and read a book or two or three….to my child. It's the best time of the day for both of us, but being a mum of three, there are some days when I miss the one on one time I try to do with my kids – which is when I read them a book of their choice for as long as they want me to 🙂
