Suzanne Lang is the author of the New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey books as well as several other titles. When she’s not writing books, Suzanne writes for animation. When she’s not doing that, she hangs out with her very funny kids, feeds her many pets, and tries (but usually fails) to take a nap!
Max Lang has illustrated over 20 books including all of the books in the Grumpy Monkey series. When he is not making books he makes films. He has co-directed several animated films including The Snail and the Whale, Zog, Room on the Broom, and The Gruffalo. He has received a BAFTA, two Emmys, two Oscar nominations, and many other honors for his film work. In his spare time he tries to make his kids laugh with dad jokes, and when he inevitably fails, he takes his dogs for a walk.
K-Gr 2—Happy Valentine's Day, Jim Panzee! There are couples everywhere, and, according to Jim, they are gross. After Oxpecker flits by showing off the flower that they received from their boyfriend, Jim can't help but see couples showing love all over the place. They're gazing into each other's eyes, slow dancing…and even kissing. Gross! Wanting someone to agree with him, Jim wanders over to his friend Norman's branch. But, as expected, Norman disagrees. He shares his view that Valentine's Day is for everyone, including parents, children, and friends. Grumpy Monkey is soon showered with small tokens of love and appreciation by his loved ones. "Maybe Valentine's Day isn't so gross after all, he thought." Except kissing…still gross! Continuing along with other "Grumpy Monkey" titles, this fun read with a holiday twist will make a superb read-aloud. The childish disdain of kissing is delightful and funny to both young and old readers. As with other titles in this series, the art is done with bright colors in a watercolor style. VERDICT This title is a fun Valentine's Day read for children and adults. A great purchase for holiday collections.—Sarah West
