Grumpy and the Birthday Pig

The hilarious sequel to Grumpy Monkey

Porcupine is throwing a big party, and Jim hears from his friend Gus that there will be – GULP – dancing. Jim ABSOLUTELY cannot dance. Luckily, the other animals quickly teach him all sorts of great moves, and then they unceremoniously drag him to the party, onto the dance floor. He is dipped, swung, twirled, and swayed with. Until he can't take it anymore and shouts that he REALLY doesn't like dancing. The animals are shocked. But then Water Buffalo admits that he doesn't really like dancing either...

Grumpy Monkey and the Party Animal is the hilarious standalone sequel to Grumpy Monkey. This picture book shows that it's perfectly fine not to always go along with things, and that it helps to say what's bothering you. Max Lang, who was nominated for an Oscar for his short animated film The Gruffalo, created the funny illustrations. Suitable for reading aloud to children aged 3 and up.
