Grumpy Monkey Kindle Edition

This book gets it. Some days you're just grumpy, and that's fine. It's a funny, relatable, good reminder that we don't have to fix every bad mood. Sometimes, we just roll with it. Perfect for kids and well, honestly, adults too.

Grumpy Monkey by Suzanne Lang is a wonderful examination of what it feels like to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. This message easily resonates with both parents and children alike, as everyone can relate to a time when they just felt “off” but didn’t really have a justifiable explanation as to why.Max Lang’s vibrant illustrations bring the theme of the story into existence in a way that is inviting and fun. The characters are drawn in a humorous yet unique way, which provides them with personality beyond the descriptions that are provided in the text. There are many moments where the illustrations of the grumpy monkey make us laugh while also making us sympathize with his sour mood.Overall, this is a wonderfully colorful and inviting picture book for parents and children alike. This book gives the reader permission to be grumpy and emphasizes the importance of accepting when our own moods are under the weather. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has children as it invites many important conversations on how to advocate for ourselves when we need time to reset our moods.

We bought two books from the Grumpy Monkey series, and my 4-year-old really enjoys them! The stories are engaging and spark a lot of questions, which makes for great conversations. The illustrations are adorable, and the characters keep her interested every time we read together.

Such a cute book, and I enjoyed the illustrations. I also enjoyed the price! $7 and some change when it’s priced at $17.99, can’t beat that! A nice hardback cover too, quality children’s book. My son is only 6 months old but I’ve been building his book collection. I read to him now and can’t wait until he actually understands the stories, nice edition!

Great book! I love the message of it’s OK not to be OK all the time.

Grandkids loved it! So colorful and such a fun read

Cute story and great quality!

My children love the expressive words and pictures in this book. They like how Jim changes his appearance to try not to seem so grumpy. It has a good message as well. Sometimes life isn't fun. And once you accept it, it can be a bit easier. Also it is nice to have friends who care along for the ride.
