Mr Crump doesn't like holidays or cheer of any kind. And he especially detests children. Can anyone warm Crump's old, cold heart? A darkly comic story for fans of the Grinch and Tim Burton.
Everyone avoids curmudgeonly Mr Crump, but they don't know the old man has a secret. He LOVES teddy bears. When trick-or-treaters accidentally uncover his cuddly collection, Mr Crump feels something strange... Could it be that Mr Crump is not so heartless, after all?
