Synopsis

GRUMP GROAN GROWL
Bad mood on the prowl

In this fresh look at a positive way to face our bad, grumpy, and wild moods, bell hooks brings a vision of calm with soothing rhythmic text, while Chris Raschka's vibrant art adds compassion and humor, reminding readers that sometimes you just have to go inside and let it slide. Praise for Grump Groan Growl * "[F]ew picture books can match the visceral punch of this one's opening, which does for bad moods what Sendak's wild rumpus sequence did for bedtime naughtiness."
-Booklist, starred review
