Format : Hardcover picture book



What did you like about the book? Finally, Grumpy Monkey celebrates Halloween! One of the best parts of Grumpy Monkey is that there is always a lesson to be learned. Tons of fun animal friends looking for treats run into some scary things in the woods. They help each other be brave and find that things in the dark may not be as scary as you think. The book is as skillfully illustrated as always. The Grumpy Monkey books are a storytime dream. They keep everyone engaged and interested in the adventure. The Halloween book is no different. This is one for the bookshelves that will be read over and over.
