The book is also filled with great humor. The relationship between Grendel and Gertrude was hilarious, the same as the relationship between Gertrude and the dragon was. However, I would have to say that my favorite character was Hama the pink pig. I am absolutely going to recommend this book to my friends! The art was fantastic.
