Editorial Reviews
"Bright watercolors of animals doing their thing are winning accompaniments to the narrative's welcome message that it's OK to be down sometimes." -School Library Journal
"Great bibliotherapy for the crabby, cranky, and cross. Oscar-nominated animator Max Lang's cartoony illustrations lighten the mood without making light of Jim's mood." -Kirkus Reviews
"Crisp illustrations featuring a broad cast of animated, boldly colored animals ...will draw readers into Jim's situation until the reassuring outcome. " -Booklist
"[A] reassuring picture book about feelings." -Publishers Weekly

We've had this book for only a few days and I've already read it about 25 times... my almost 2 yo daughter loves it! This instantly trumped all of her other favorites. Its a cute story and message and the illustrations are great. I do enjoy reading it... just not so many times in a row!

The art instantly drew me to this book. I’m a storyboard artist myself and really appreciate the simplistic yet expressive drawing. It’s adorable and a cute read. Excited to read this to my baby niece once she starts talking.

I know this book has really good reviews but we spend time telling our grandchildren they have the ability to change how they feel. The book suggests being a grouch is ok.
