Grumpy Bird
Author:Jeremy Tankard (illustrator)
Rating: 
Reading Level: Pre-k to 2nd
Pages:Publisher: Scholastic Press
Edition: Hardcover, 2007
I LOVE the grumpiness of Bird and his host of 4-legged friends who totally are so clueless to his mood. The Wahaha-WOW ending is so unexpected and satisfying. There is a great momentum building through this seemingly simplistic picture book. Tankard's thick-black-outlined endearing group of animals and brush-painting trees, accompanied by bleached photo background is dexterously done. There is just so much to look at and such a joy to read aloud and to share!
