Jim Panzee, our favorite #1 New York Times bestselling grumpy monkey, is feeling like quite the Scrooge this holiday season!

It's Christmas time in the jungle, and Jim just can't get into the holiday spirit. Then Norman offers Jim a festive green banana and Jim feels sick, making everything seem worse. All the other animals in the jungle are ready and eagerly awaiting Christmas, but Jim feels everything stinks. Norman tries to find the solution...and shows Jim that everything can be solved with a soothing cup of tea and time spent with a good friend.

I don't normally review kid's books, but I saw this book and thought of my 22 month old son! So, I had to pick it up. The pictures in this book are beautifully illustrated and I loved every single one! The book did not hold my son's attention as long as I would have liked, but I think that may be due to age, and not the quality of the content. I really enjoyed the fact that the book highlights that we need to be able to see the good in life, and not just the bad. We can't always see the good if we are constantly complaining. I also really liked that the book highlighted things to be thankful for during the Holidays. 

Overall, I would recommend this to parents that want a Christmas themed book that also teaches kids ways to be thankful. It does have lengthier sentences, so I would recommend more to the 3+ age range. The illustrations are wonderful, and the lessons are fantastic. 

Thank you to the Rockstar Book Tours for providing a copy of this book. These opinions are my own, and were not influenced in any way. I was not obligated to provide a review.
