Grumpy Monkey Gross-Out

Jim Panzee is very grumpy about Valentine's Day until his buddy Norman shows him that this celebration is for everyone.

When Jim hears Oxpecker cooing over her doting boyfriend on Valentine's Day, he has just one thought: Gross. But Jim finds out that not everything about Valentine's Day is hearts and kisses. Jim learns there are different types of valentines and many kinds of love, such as love for a parent or for friends.

This funny non-saccharine story is full of the same silly humour that characterises all the beloved titles in the New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey series.
