4 ⭐ This grumpy monkey is a graphic novel. It‘s an early chapter book and it was lots of fun. It‘s perfect for students who are not quite ready for Dog Man, but definitely ready to get away from easy readers. I find the subject in the way it‘s treated interesting. If you listen to teachers on social media, there‘s lots of talk about how kids aren‘t where they should be both in reading math and every other subject. How kids are behind.

LibrarianRyan It‘s so happens this book is about a grown-up Jim who has to go back to school because he didn‘t learn the first time he was there. The topic is irrelevant and handled in an interesting way I think kids and adult adults alike will enjoy. 2w
