Doug & Stan - The Gym of Grim

Doug and Stan are all revved up to get fit when they receive news that new Buyers want to turn their house into a gym. Sadly, their high-energy routine soon fizzles out when Stan busts his knee.

But when their little nap is interrupted by a fluffy, pink teddy bear they must spring back into action or face a very grim ending.

Next-door neighbour Dotty Sodd is at it again and uses the full force of her magical dress-up box to make sure a horrible, sweaty gym will never be built.

Will Doug and Stan manage to push the button in time and what will they do when the floating bucket begins to rock?

Doug & Stan - The Gym of Grim is the sixth book by David Richardson in his series of funny, short stories told through rhyme. Fans of Dr. Seuss will love this creatively bonkers story about an old man and his pet slug's battle with their next-door neighbour and her 'cute' teddy bear. With broad appeal for children and adults alike and an interwoven message of never giving up, The Gym of Grim provides the perfect stepping stone between picture books and novels.
