"Jim has been asked to egg-sit, but he wants to have fun with his friends. Is there a way he can do both?"--

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Grumpy Monkey and his jungle friends are trick-or-treating on Halloween amid strange noises and mysterious smells. Along the way, they are reminded that nothing can be scarier than returning home with no treats.
On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark to collect treats. Not only does the jungle look different at night, it sounds different....

At first Jim is impressed with Norman's new pet bugs, but he quickly becomes jealous of all the time Norman spends with them and when the bugs have babies, Jim declares Norman has too many pets.

Jim Panzee wakes up in a bad mood one beautiful day, but he keeps denying he is grumpy even as his friends give advice for feeling better.

When Jim Panzee is banished from the jungle after making Oxpecker mad at him, his best friend Norman joins him, but when they end up in the desert and Norman is miserable, Jim agrees to apologize so they can go back home.

"On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark for trick-or-treating. But the jungle looks and sounds very different at night. As the hunt for treats gets spookier and spookier, Jim and his friends tell themselves not to be scared, but a pair of glowing eyes in the pitch-dark jungle might push them over the edge! Or maybe they'll make a new friend."--

Jim Panzee learns that too much of anything, including having fun, has its downsides.

Have you ever been a little anxious about going to a party? Jim Panzee feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, and according to Jim's best friend Norman, there will be--gulp--dancing. Jim can DEFINITELY not dance. When he tells his friends, they all try to teach him cool moves--surely that's the only reason Jim isn't excited about this party! Now, their job complete, the other animals sweep Jim along, all the way to the dance floor. Jim is dipped,...

"Jim Panzee is out for his usual Wednesday walk when he accidentally squishes his stress orange into orange juice. He and his friends must cross the jungle before all of the fresh oranges are gone"--

Jim Pancé tiene un ataque de gruñonitis y sus amigos no lo entienden: ¿cómo puede estar enfurruñado si hace TAAAAAN buen día? Las cebras lo invitan a dar vueltas con ellas, los pájaros a cantar y los monos a columpiarse, pero Jim no puede seguir tantos consejos... y se pone más gruñón. ¿No será que, de vez en cuando, todos necesitamos ser un poco gruñones?
