Gringer the Whinger is a picturebook about a naughty and irritating dragon who visits a family when things are becoming tense or disagreeable. With his whingy voice and cheeky ripostes, he commands Mammy’s attention and stretches her patience to the limit, much to the delight of the children and the exasperation of their grumpy dad.
