Welcome to Litsy!

She opened an eye and said with a cry,
“Is that the time? Oh, my! Oh, my!

"Are you still grumpy?" "Yes," said Jim, "but I'll probably feel better soon enough, too. For now, I need to be grumpy." "It's a wonderful day to be grumpy," said Norman. Jim agreed.

This book is super cute and a great way for children to feel their emotions. The colors are vivid and captivating. By having so many animals the kids will be able to find one to connect with. I also like this story because it‘s subtle poetry that kids can follow along before moving onto the harder stuff.

This book is a book about emotions and it being okay to feel grumpy and all kinds of emotions. In the story Jim's friends try various ways to cheer him up, but Jim learns that it's okay to feel grumpy sometimes.

The power of friends to sit with you in a bad mood, or help you banish one. Love the art style, the use of colour.

Another must for your kids or grandkids library! Jim is grumpy, Jim Panzee!😜

Love the #Endpapers that feature Chicken & Speedy! 😄

Mrs. Biddlebox wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and is having a very bad day. This story follows her as she goes through all the steps to baking a cake. By the end of the story she is in a much better mood. This is a story that focuses on being proactive when we feel gloomy and working to have a better day.
