Very cute for young kids 3-7 years old (Preschool-2nd grade). I purchased this book for my daughter-in-law’s kindergarten class. I got a kick out of it cause we all get grumpy and sometimes we really don’t know why….and that’s okay…as long as you have one good friend by your side who understands.

Again, why was it so hard to find books about handling grumpiness?! I enjoyed part of Grumpy Monkey and the friends who were trying to make Jim be better. That's the sign of good friends. It's also okay to just own our feelings and live in them for a little bit. I think kiddos need to know that.
