Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard

 

Bird wakes up feeling grumpy. Too grumpy to eat or play --too grumpy even to fly. "Looks like I'm walking today," says Bird. He walks past Sheep, who offers to keep him company. He walks past Rabbit, who also could use a walk. Raccoon, Beaver, and Fox join in, too. Before he knows it, a little exercise and companionship help Bird shake his bad mood. Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard was published in April 2007. This book was nominated for OLA Forest of Reading Blue Spruce Award in 2008. 

The illustrations in this book are bright and colorful. They are simple in design but this book it works really well.  Cassie really loved looking at the pictures and giggling at the personality of Grumpy Bird. I loved this book as everyone tries to make him happy but with no luck. Then in the end he finds a way to make him happy. This book is adorable and talks about how doing things can help you not be so grumpy in life. My kids really enjoyed this book and we can't wait to read it again.
