He was so grumpy that he had a list of things that annoyed him. Until one day, he found the one thing that made him truly happy... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosh the Grumpy Corgi\u003c\/b\u003e is a full colour illustrated children's book featuring one of the internet's favourite dog breeds - the corgi! It is a loving tribute to a real life corgi named Rosh and his unique personality. The author remembers her childhood pet in this book filled with splashes of Australiana. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA note from the author\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI'm excited to launch my first self-published children's book - \u003cb\u003eRosh the Grumpy Corgi\u003c\/b\u003e. As an aunty I've read a lot of children's books and had an idea for years to write and illustrate one of my own. I came up with the concept - a book about my childhood dog who was a corgi that our family adopted from an animal shelter as a wee puppy. His name was Rosh - he came with that name and we never worked out it's origin! Like all good corgis, Rosh was a pretty moody dog but a totally lovable character. Yes, everything that made Rosh grumpy in the book happened in real life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll illustrations were hand-drawn using my graphics tablet. I wanted the story to reflect having grown up in the suburbs of Sydney and also my love of Australian native birds. This is why you'll see a Rainbow Lorikeet (my absolute favourite), a Galah, a Cockatoo, an Ibis (infamous-bin chicken). I fit in more Australian iconography with an Akubra hat (just like my dad wore), a Hill's Hoist clothes line, a Victa lawnmower (like we had) and a local council Sulo wheelie bin (every Aussie has one of these).\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 10 x 8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42170177454215,"sku":"9798418073365","price":14.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/5c8a1e15f494f471a307717db9f09bed.webp?v=1733346549","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/rosh-the-grumpy-corgi-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
