"All the animals of the forest have awoken from their
winter slumber and are joyfully welcoming spring.
All the animals, except for one....."
Good Morning Grizzly Grump is an colorful and beautifully illustrated children's book that tells the story of Grizzly Grump as he wakes up from his hibernation and is extremely hungry. All of the other animals in the book and happy and smiling and Grizzly Grump is very unhappy because he just wants to eat and each time he comes across some food the other animals take it from him and run off giggling. Little does Grizzly Grump know....but all the animals of the forest have a secret plan in the works and its all for Grizzly Grump.
I loved everything about this book from the smiling, colorful animals to the mystery behind the disappearing food. :)
I love how the Grizzly Grump's story shows kids how to treat other people and shows kindness being shown between friends. All of Grizzly Grumps friends knew that he would be hungry when he woke up so they all got together to make him a huge surprise meal to show him how much they care about him.
Children of all ages will learn friendship and gratitude from this story.
One of my favorite parts about this entire book is the colorful map in the front of the book that outlines Grizzly Grump and his friends world and where each of the animals in the story live.
Grizzly Grump's stories are entertaining and the characters are funny and intriguing and will keep a child's attention till the very last page.
