This early graphic novel chapter book based on the #1 New York
Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey is perfect for children who love the
original picture books and are ready for the next step. A longer
storyline, multiple panels per page, and hilarious dialogue will keep
kids laughing all the way to the end, when Jim Panzee learns an
important lesson about apologies.
Jim Panzee is demonstrating a new magic trick when he's interrupted by
two oxpeckers cooing over each other. Annoyed, he tosses a banana peel
from his branch and, even worse, denies doing it!
Now the real trouble begins when Jim Panzee is banished from the jungle.
Best friend Norman joins him and they end up in the desert. But the
desert isn't a happy place for them, especially Norman. Too much heat in
the daytime, too much cold at night, and the lack of bananas are big
problems. In order to help his best buddy, Jim agrees to return to the
jungle. But the only way he will be welcomed back is if he apologizes.
Will grumpy monkey Jim be able to do that?
