Mr Crump doesn't like animals or holidays or cheer of any kind. He takes from others and never says thank you. And he especially detests children. But the curmudgeonly old man has a secret. He LOVES teddy bears. His house is full of them. When trick-or-treaters accidentally uncover his cuddly collection, Mr Crump begins to feel a glimmer of warmth grow inside him... Could it be that Mr Crump is not so heartless, after all? Darkly comic and full of compassion this tale of the power of kindness and capacity for change is brought to life by Stephanie Leon's cinematic artwork. Perfect for fans of The Grinch and The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's sure to melt even the most cantankerous heart.
