"For any kid or parent that's having a bit of a terrible, horrible, no
good, very bad day, this book is an instant pick me up. Great for
siblings, too!" --Red Tricycle

curmudgeons."--*Publishers Weekly

"Playful language and a subtly rhyming text create an enjoyable
read-aloud about frustrations and bad moods." --Booklist
What do you do with a curmudgeon that just won't budge? Why, shake off
the grumpy 'tude and embrace the fun!
Have you ever seen a curmudgeon that looks like your brother, but is
in such a bad mood you hardly recognize him? You can try all the peanut
butter sandwiches and brownies you have, but he is not moving.
Nothing works, especially nudging, and he just makes you so grumpy that
eventually you have no choice but to fight back--and then...
Have you ever become a curmudgeon that just won't budge?
Matthew Burgess's playful depiction of bad moods and sibling rivalry is
matched perfectly by Fiona Woodcock's unique childlike art style.
