Grover's Daddy



While the exploits of Grover's mother have been vastly documented, his father is a being of particular puzzlement. Given the lack of evidence, one would surmise that the patriarchal figure in Grover's life is largely absent. Most often than not, Grover's parentage is covered largely on the illustrated page, with an occasional appearance on screen from time to time.

However, it was in the pages of The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover, where a rare mention was made to Grover's dad. When revealing the secrets of Super Grover's origins, it is revealed that his mommy did indeed build the costume for her son as a Halloween outfit. And, while not pictured, Grover's daddy is mentioned as having one day brought home a funny old helmet, which ultimately became a part of Super Grover's superheroing costume.

Given the phrasing, it is not clear what author Emily Perl Kingsley meant to imply as to Grover's dad's relationship to his son. The text states that, while looking around their home for items to use to build a costume, Grover's mom found "a funny old helmet Grover's daddy had once brought home." This seems to suggest a number of possibilities that may include the three monsters living together, visitation rights, or the idea that Grover may not have even met his father.
