I really like this book. My kids like it, too. It’s a great way to show that waking up grumpy is normal, but there’s lots you can do to change that frown upside down throughout the day. I like reading it with a grumpy voice that gets less grumpy on each page.

Li a versão portuguesa da editora Edicare, com as suas páginas grossas, desenhos coloridos, com uma história de acções que a tartaruga faz para deixar de estar rabugenta.. dando a indicar que estava rabugenta por estar aborrecida… o que acho demasiado redutor.

We got a little behind entering books we’ve read the last couple months, but we’ll try to start off 2021 right!

Super cute illustrations tell the story of a tortoise who wakes up feeling grumpy, but spends the day doing things he enjoys and the grumpy emotion goes away.

This is a very cute book for new readers. I enjoyed reading it to the little ones in my family before bed. I think it will help them practice their reading skills. It has cute illustrations.

Tortoise starts off grumpy and then finds ways to influence his mood for the better.

So many great ideas for when we feel grumpy. Taking a walk, talking with friends, soaking up the sun, going for a swim, listening to music, sharing a snack with friends.
