Very sweet, very relatable picture book about the occasional bouts of crankiness we all feel. The artwork is particularly playful and joyous as well. Suitable for both read aloud and individual reading.

I read this to my own cranky, bossy and argumentative 5 year old. I kept telling him it reminded me of someone I know and he was cracking up because he did almost every single thing that was described in the story. It was fun to read and we will have fun reading it again & again. The illustrations were adorable too.

I love this book and can’t wait to buy it for my classroom! I love how the main character goes through all the stages of cranky and then feels better after sleep. I think so many kids could relate to it. I know as an adult I did! Excellent story!!

A delightful little story that teaches children to embrace their emotions. It tells them that everyone gets cranky sometimes, and gives them some tools to readjust their attitudes.
