Grumblewick lives inside an old shoe and has an enormous talent for finding reasons to complain. At eleven-thirty he protests because Trilly woke him up, even though he's been up since eight. Earlier he had already gone out to check if the birds were looking at each other too much.

He peeks out up to the laces, grumbles, and expects the whole breakfast to join his bad mood. But Jolly has recorded his grumbles with the mushroom radio. When he hears the others walk away dancing to them, he still has one protest left: that song is his.

His real figure has a burlap hat with little leaves, brown hair, plaid collar, pink suit, and a bell at his waist. It's handmade in cold porcelain; the grumpy face is also part of his charm.
