Now that summer's over, our "trainee" has graduated to full storyteller status, and this is a delightful set of books this time around.
The Grumpy Pets
Kristine A. Lombardi
ISBN: 9781419718885
Billy is a grumpy kid, and he doesn't have anything in common with the desperately sweet and happy pets in the front of the pet store. But when he wanders into the back there's a new world of grumpy antisocial pets; just perfect for his personality! A cutely moody story illustrating that there's usually someone for everyone if you look long enough. Love this one.
Lazy Daisy, Cranky Frankie
Mary Ellen Jordan and Andrew Weldon
ISBN: 9780807544006
This farm is full of animals who really are just totally out of sorts, or simply uninterested in their normal farmyard functions. A bit surreal, but totally silly, and the animals' faces are delightful.
Grumpy Bird
Jeremy Tankard
ISBN: 9780439851473
Grumpy Bird is in a mood, and he's stalking through the forest being peevish, but his friends are there to help out, as annoying as that might be; until finally they manage to get through Grumpy Bird's grump and all have a good time. This is one I suggested, and while I'm delighted with the match-up choices, I am a bit sad to not get to read it myself.
