Grumpy Monkey Says No!

Ages 3 And Under, Grades P And Under

In this original board book that tackles a common toddler issue, the bestselling character finds out that “no!” isn’t always the best answer.

Does Jim Panzee want to go for a walk? No! How about having a playdate? No! Not even to eat a banana? No! Grumpy Monkey just wants to say “no.” Sometimes it seems like the only word toddlers know is “no,” and Jim is no exception.

A simple text and humorous artwork offer parents the perfect funny book to help when their toddler says “no” to absolutely everything.
