It's ok to just feel however you need a reason behind it, that's the idea for kids. The line about the monkey being grumpy was repetitive for me, but it was a great book and I would recommend it.

My 3 year old adores this book and I do the same. The grumpy monkey is Jim Panzee. The illustrations are great, the story is fun, and it's okay to have a grumpy day. Highly recommended.

Fun book about being grumpy
Derived From Web , Jul 24, 2021
My kids love this book. The book is about being grumpy. I don't think this book promotes bad behavior or rudeness. It's ok to feel the feelings if you're taught that they come and go.

Fun story, great art

The artwork is excellent and the story is fun. The animals speak in quotes, so as a story-reader, you can give all the animals funny voices. I bought this book based on the title.

Grumpy Daddy Likey

This is a 5 star winner of our top 5 books for gifts to other parents and will remain in the save pile as the nursery turns to death metal posters or what ever is hip. This book is easy to read and has a great story line. Our two year old request is repeated a lot.

Lovely message, great book.
Derived From Web , May 4, 2020
Being grumpy is one of the many emotions we have and it's perfectly normal to have a bad day. For anyone suggesting that kids being grumpy is ok is absolutely correct. My nephew is going to read this book and I can't wait for him to read it.

Accepting our emotions - fun for children
Derived From Web , Feb 17, 2020
Jim felt harassed and no more cheerful until he concluded that he just needs to feel grumpy for now and that he is feeling a bit better. The book allows children to consider the negative energy we all experience.

Must have!
Derived From Web , Jan 4, 2020
I bought this book on a whim for my son and it has become one of my favorite books. The friendship of the different animals in the book and the message that is fake until you make it like my mom used to say to me, does not always work, but that is okay. A book that teaches that it is okay to be grouchy and to have an off day is a great gift. It's definitely a must have for an at home library.
