Grumpy Monkey Play All Day

Grumpy Monkey Play All Day is a picture book written by Suzanne Lang and illustrated by Max Lang. It is part of the Grumpy Monkey series, which follows Jim Panzee, a grumpy yet lovable monkey, as he navigates everyday emotions and situations.

All Jim Panzee want to do is play! Like so many kids, Jim is great at avoiding his responsibilities. Whether it's tidying his branch, finding bananas for lunch, or even taking a bathroom break, Jim wiggles out of it.

Instead of taking care of his responsibilities, Jim spends time rolling around with the zebras, swinging with the monkeys and singing with the birds. When it's time for his friends to return home, Jim finds new animal friends to play with. At the end of the day, when Jim is hungry, itchy, and dirty, his best pal Norman patiently tells him "Too much of anything can be, well, too much." In a world where most kids would love to spend all their time playing, Jim Panzee finds out what happens when that's all you do.
