Everyone's favorite New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey is back
in this hilarious sequel about managing social anxiety and listening to
your needs!
Have you ever been a little anxious about going to a party? Jim Panzee
feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, and according to Jim's best
friend Norman, there will be--gulp--dancing. Jim can DEFINITELY not
dance. When he tells his friends, they all try to teach him cool
moves--surely that's the only reason Jim isn't excited about this party!
Now, their job complete, the other animals sweep Jim along, all the way
to the dance floor. Jim is dipped, swayed, and twirled until he can't
take it anymore--he just doesn't like to dance! When he lets everyone
know, he's met with disbelief...until Water Buffalo reveals that he
doesn't much care to dance, either. As more and more animals have the
courage speak their truths, does this mean there's no place for them at
this party?
In this hilarious sequel to GRUMPY MONKEY, kids will learn that it's
okay not to go with the flow if they're uncomfortable, and that speaking
up about what they need can help others speak up, too--and maybe they
need the same thing!
