alihalpe: Somehow Grumpy Monkey became the only book my potty training toddler wanted to read while on the pot. Desperate for variety, we bought this sequel. In general these books are funny and the illustrations are really well done. I appreciate the character development even for a toddler book. One thing I will say as a word of caution, the book does say the word “butt.” We aren’t super prude or anything but our son goes to a Christian daycare and that may not be appreciated language so we just read it as “bottom.”

Janice Price: I have to admit that I have not seen or read this book as it was gift for my grandchildren who live an ocean away. But, I can say that they were thoroughly delighted with the book. I had already purchased Grumpy Monkey and Grumpy Monkey Up All Night for them. It was my granddaughter who pointed out that they did not have the party book. So of course I ordered it immediately.

ConnorConnor: The book itself is great! It’s the second grumpy monkey book I’ve bought, my niece loves them. HOWEVER it arrived with bent/folded pages and the dust sleeve is also crinkled. It’s too late for me to return and get a new one for her birthday so I’m kind of irritated by that.

Margaret Adamson: This is my grandkids favourite book hands down. I can't tell enough people how great this book is. The author and illustrator have the cutest main character interacting with his other animal friends, while giving the storyline a moral for the readers to relate to. I will be looking for more books written by this team.

Irene: Our son loves the first book and can’t get enough of it. This book, however, feels like a copycat wrote it. The language is awkward and doesn’t flow, the format with two pages you need to unfold is not suitable for young children. The storyline is frankly boring. The authors had a good success with the first book and it feels like they didn’t put much thought into the second one, hoping to ride the success wave of The Grumpy Monkey. Real shame. I gave two stars (not one) because of the illustrations - they are sweet.

Adam R.: My daughter (2 years old) loves Grumpy Monkey and the original book became her nightly bedtime story so when I saw there was a sequel, I preordered a book for the first time in my life. This book has now practically replaced the original as our bedtime story unless my daughter (I assume) is feeling nostalgic and wants the first book one night. She loves it. IF she could write this review, she'd give it 6 stars out of 5.

So why not 5 stars? Well, even though the target audience loved it, I'm still the adult reading it every night and I got beef. First, the writing. The story is fine but there are several times where the pacing, rhythm, or cadence just seems off. It also lacks a lot of the repetition of the first which makes it harder for my daughter to memorize and read along. Second, a lot of the gags are visual and/or puns which aren't really bad but aren't great for my daughter's age. She's not going to get why the rabbit is sitting at the food table with a sign that's labeled "fresh meat". The last issue is my most petty. In the middle of the story, all the animals are dancing which means there's a fold out page. So both the right and left page fold outward, doubling the...
