Grumpy Monkey is not only the title of a wonderful book, but a vibe. Written by Susanne Lang and illustrated by Max Lang, the cover instantly grabs your attention. One day as I scoured through my local Barnes and Noble bookstore, I couldn’t help notice the expressive face of the monkey looking back at me. It so happened I was in a particularly foul mood at the time and felt an instant connection. I mused out loud “this monkey gets me.” A few weeks later, my daughter gifted me both the book and a plush doll based on the Grumpy Monkey himself, Jim Panzee. Naturally, I opted to give the book a proper review.
Because trouble comes in all sizes.
