Seventh in the Grumpy Monkey series, this charming tale addresses feelings young readers may experience. In this story, Jim Panzee is grumpy in spite of his friends’ efforts to cheer him up.

The message for the young reader, ages two through five, is that there are times when they don’t feel happy . . . and it’s okay to have a time of grumpiness. Delightful, full-color illustrations in this picture book bring the story to life for the child.

Highly recommended. ( )
