Grumpy Monkey

Written by: Suzanne Lang and Max Lang

First line: One wonderful day Jim Panzee woke to discover that nothing was right.

Why you should read this book: Having awoken on the wrong side of the bed, as the saying goes (in fact, he lives in a tree), Jim Panzee feels like everything is unpleasant. His friends and neighbors note his mood, decide he's grumpy, and offer numerous helpful suggestions for looking and acting less grumpy, none of which change his overall outlook on the day. Finally, Jim finds a friend who can understand how he feels and help him realize that sometimes it's OK to just feel bad.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You can't understand why anyone would choose to feel bad when they could just be happy instead.
