The Three Grumpies

The Three Grumpies was written by Tamra Wight and illustrated by Ross Collins. It was published by Bloomsbury in 2003. The mian theme of this story is leaning how to deal with difficulties. The main character is a little girl who wakes up with the grumpies. They proceed to make her day miserable, from spilling her breakfast milk to dropping her homework in a puddle. Various well-meaning adults advise her on how to get rid of them, but it is the unnamed narrator who discovers the sure cure when she giggles, and then laughs, which sends them packing. This book is good for teaching students about feelings.
