Cute little comic about a nice monster who leaves his mean group and finds a loving family with a woman, giant dog, and kitty.

Totally adorable. Kid-friendly, but with plenty of references and appeal for grown-ups, too.Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley.

A slim volume of printed webcomics about a young woman and a cute little monster. Short gag comics that have dated pop culture references that kids might not get, but nonetheless still a fun read.

A super cute, beautiful drawn and colored, comic strip about a geeky girl and her monster friend. As well as her cat and dog. Very enjoyable read.

What a cute comic!! And of course, I have to love Dale! She's got a good sense of pop culture love (loved her No H8 shirt!!) and of course, all the Harry Potter greatness (mostly Harli dressed as HP for Halloween)I'll definitely check out the others!

Very cute collection of a webcomic series. Suitable for all ages. Loved all the "geek" references. I originally picked it up due to being a fan of the artist in general but really enjoyed this sweet little volume.

The artwork is cute, and I like the characters, but the humor never landed for me.Also, almost half the (very short) book ended up being comic strips from other people. I got this from the library, but it would be hard to recommend this as an actual purchase.

Katie Cook's artwork is a delight!

This is such a cute book.

I was intrigued by the beginning story where Gronk left the world of monsters, but once he started living with the human there was no overarching story, just single comics of cutesy monster things. This isn't so much of a volume of continuing stories as it is a compilation of single comics. Since this isn't what I was expecting I got bored half way through the book and quit. Flipping to random pages, most pages stand alone, and many are pretty funny and cute.The relationship between Dale and Gro...

Cute short form pieces about the hijinks of an adorable monster (what?!? how groundbreaking!?!). Great, exemplary, but not exactly innovative.I mean, yeah, it's adorable and harmless and bright full color, but I don't feel like the gaze here is KID. The monster is definitely being seen from a parental view. Or maybe that's just where I am lately. Anyway, this and Copper by Kazu Kibuishi seem like they belong on the same shelf - ALL AGES, not Juvenile. And I don't think we put things on the adul...

I first discovered Gronk during FCBD 2015, but I wish I had been following Katie Cook's webcomic from the beginning because I totally LOVE Gronk! This adorable little monster stole my heart on page one, and now I look forward to a weekly update online. :-) This is a great all-ages graphic novel that the whole family will enjoy. While definitely kid-friendly, Cook slips many grown-up references and jokes into her comic strips for parents and older readers making it really enjoyable for everyone.

Gronk is a monster....just not a very good one. She doesn’t fit in with the other monsters because she’s just too darn nice! She can’t really scare anyone, she doesn’t like scaring people, and well...she’s kinda cuddly looking. Monsterdom kicks her out and she’s kinda on her own until she meets her new friend Dale. Dale invites Gronk home to live with her pets Kitty and a 160lb Newfoundland named Harli. Gronk discovers there’s more to life than just monsterdom and maybe she’s found the place she...

Review originally posted to my blog The Leaning Tower of Tomes: https://leaningtoweroftomes.wordpress...THE REVIEW:This review is coming to you in 5 parts.1) Gronk isn’t good at being scary, so she leaves her fellow monsters and stumbles across a young woman named Dale who lives with her adorable fluffy companions Kitty and Harli. This book is a collection of short stories concerning Gronk’s new life.2) Harli the 160 pound Newfoundland was honestly my favorite part of the whole book. He’s just s...

Gronk is a small, cute monster who doesn't act very monster like. Luckily for her, she stumbles upon a reclusive human who's more than happy to take her in.The cover is cute and adorable, and definitely sets the tone for the book, in case you couldn't tell just by the summary. It's straightforward and pretty to look at.The art overall is very much like the cover. A distinctive and adorable design with bright colors. Every character is distinct, even the woodland creatures, and some great express...

This Comic book is around 55 pages filled with short stories about Gronk, a cute, friendly monster who really acts a lot like a child, and her mommy-esque human housemate who took her in, Dale Wilco.About the Artwork: BEAUTIFUL illustrations that are of the highest standard you can get, in my opinion. All the characters are super cute - they'd actually make great plushies I think! I loved everything about the artwork from the style of the drawing to the coloring. A+++ :) You can check out the aw...

I received a digital copy of this title from the publisher via Netgalley.Ten Second Synopsis:A not so scary monster is adopted by a lady with a cat and large dog and learns to fit in with the seriously weird human world.Gronk is a little, not very scary monster. After leaving Monsterland, due to her lack of scaring ability, Gronk is picked up by Dale, a human lady, and taken home to live with Kitty (Dale’s cat) and Harli (Dale’s Newfoundland dog). We join Gronk as she negotiates the joys and ter...

I’ve been following Katie’s work for years and I often see her fandom art posted around the internet. Despite seeing images of Gronk on her blog, I have never read her Gronk comic strip. So of course, when I found a copy of the comic book at the library, I had to give it a read!This comic tells the story of Gronk, the friendly monster, moving in with Dale and learning to live in her world. She makes many amusing mishaps along the way – bathing Kitty in the toilet bowl and becoming addicted to re...

If you know someone who is afraid of monsters, they need to read Gronk. Gronk is a monster who just isn't very monstrous.

Gronk settles in to Dale's household along with Dales' pets, Kitty and Harli. Each little situation shows how modern human life appears to an outsider - and how appealing pop culture can be.There are so many funny moments and opport...
