Penguin Random House: Grumpy Monkey Play All Day

The New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey series is back with a charming picture book. It stars Jim Panzee, a stubborn monkey who's set on playing all day and ignoring his duties. This fun - filled book about procrastination will resonate with both kids and parents. One morning, Jim decides to play non - stop. He dodges tasks like tidying up, getting lunch, and even bathroom breaks. For him, having fun is the top priority, just like many kids who are good at avoiding responsibilities. Instead, he has a blast swinging with monkeys, singing with birds, and rolling with zebras. When his friends go home, he finds new playmates to keep the fun going. But by day's end, dirty, itchy, and hungry, his friend Norman tells him that too much of a good thing can be a problem. In a world where kids dream of all - day play, Jim discovers the consequences.

This picture book is perfect for bedtime stories or reading during leisure time. Sit your child on your lap or let them sit comfortably and start reading page by page. While reading, encourage your child to interact, ask questions about the story, and imagine what they would do if they were Jim Panzee.
