More About the Author

Kirk was born and raised in Austin, Texas. In kindergarten, Kirk's teachers were so impressed with his demented drawings of zombies, witches and monsters that they often called his parents and even recommended a few "experts" take a look at Kirk's work. Thankfully, for Kirk's poor Mother, he grew out of his monster kick and went on to study film at the University of Texas which inspired him to move to sunny Los Angeles to pursue his dream of working retail and living in a luxury un-air-conditioned apartment. After years of reassessment, reflection and hard work, Kirk has finally realized his true calling... drawing demented pictures of zombies, witches and monsters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goofy fun for kids!, June 12, 2007
By 
This review is from: Bigfoot Backpacking Bonanza (Wiley and Grampa's Creature Features, No. 5) (Paperback)
My son (2nd grader) didn't have much of an interest in reading - so, we had to find a compelling, funny read - and this was it! He loves this series so much and feels such accomplishment upon completion! He cannot wait for the next one to come out! These books are right up a boys' alley!

5.0 out of 5 stars Silly fun without the ironic aftertaste, October 27, 2011
By 
Pop Bop (Denver, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bigfoot Backpacking Bonanza (Wiley and Grampa's Creature Features, No. 5) (Paperback)
Silly? Sure. A little gross? Absolutely. Cheerful? In spades. It's not cheap humor or all toilet humor, but it's not the most sophisticated word play either. There's always a crazy threat, (Bigfoot, aliens, animated eggnog), a crisis, and an insane plan to save the world. Wiley and Grampa, who are clearly fond of each other, team up to save the day. Sometimes the cat helps, or Wiley's friend, or Gramma.
The point is that there is a plot, there actually is some creative wordplay, there are funny throwaway jokes in the illustrations, there is cheerful loopiness, and there is a happy ending with a moral. Gosh, that sounds like Shakespeare, (except for the illustrations part.)
And, unlike some of the books out there, there is no veiled contempt for the characters or the gullible, unwashed readers. It's not condescending or edgy; it's just silly fun. I don't think I'd build my library around these, but there's certainly room on the shelf for a couple.

This review is from: Bigfoot Backpacking Bonanza (Wiley and Grampa's Creature Features, No. 5) (Paperback)
My son, who is six years old, loves the Wiley & Grampa series by Kirk Scroggs. The stories are funny and the characters are great to read. I definitely recommend these books and have ordered more of them for my kid's birthday.
