Summary
Everyone's favorite New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey is back in this hilarious sequel about managing social anxiety and listening to your needs！
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， swayed， and twirled until he can't take it anymore--he just doesn't like to dance！ When he lets everyone know， he's met with disbelief。。。until Water Buffalo reveals that he doesn't much care to dance， either。 As more and more animals have the courage speak their truths， does this mean there's no place for them at this party？
In this hilarious sequel to GRUMPY MONKEY， kids will learn that it's okay not to go with the flow if they're uncomfortable， and that speaking up about what they need can help others speak up， too--and maybe they need the same thing！

Young fans of Jim Panzee will enjoy revisiting him and his jungle friends but I found this lacked some of the joy of the original picture book/clever humour of the graphic novel。 The illustrations are bright and detailed and the book is suitable for children aged 4+ with a nice message about not being afraid to admit when you don't like something everyone else seems to enjoy， but it's not one I'll be revisiting any time soon。 Young fans of Jim Panzee will enjoy revisiting him and his jungle friends but I found this lacked some of the joy of the original picture book/clever humour of the graphic novel。 The illustrations are bright and detailed and the book is suitable for children aged 4+ with a nice message about not being afraid to admit when you don't like something everyone else seems to enjoy， but it's not one I'll be revisiting any time soon。 。。。more

Always a fun read when Grumpy Monkey is involved！

Jim Panzee gets invited to Porcupine’s party and everybody is keen on dancing… except him。 I should say I really identified with Jim Panzee because， although I know how to dance， I just don’t like to do it。 For me， parties are great places to talk， laugh， eat， listen to music and sing and I sometimes was criticized for that。I think it’s a great message that not everybody enjoys the same and it’s fine to find fun in different things。

Adorable lesson with Grumpy Monkey about being true to yourself， doing what you love and spending time with friends ❤

3。5 stars。 I liked this sequel more than the original。 The illustrations are still hilarious （and possibly even more so）， but I enjoyed the storyline a little more。 Jim Panzee learns to speak up for himself and also finds out that not being a party pooper means he might actually have fun。

I don't get it， is his name grumpy monkey or jim panzee？ which is it？ and why is half the book about learning to dance when the other half is about you don't have to dance if you don't want to？ Pick a name， pick a theme。 I don't get it， is his name grumpy monkey or jim panzee？ which is it？ and why is half the book about learning to dance when the other half is about you don't have to dance if you don't want to？ Pick a name， pick a theme。 。。。more

Jim， the Grumpy Monkey， was invited to a party and he wasn’t so sure he would enjoy himself since he didn’t like to dance。 He soon found out there was more to a party besides dancing。 The animal drawings are delightful！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The story started off with a monkey getting a invitation to porcupine’s party but he didn’t want to go because he didn’t know how to dance。 That shocked every animal around who heard because they believe everybody could dance。 He showed off his moves but he really didn’t know how to dance。 So his friends decided to teach him how to dance。 When he arrived at the party everyone wanted to dance with him but he wasn’t so happy about dancing。 Jim finally stood up and said he didn’t like dancing which The story started off with a monkey getting a invitation to porcupine’s party but he didn’t want to go because he didn’t know how to dance。 That shocked every animal around who heard because they believe everybody could dance。 He showed off his moves but he really didn’t know how to dance。 So his friends decided to teach him how to dance。 When he arrived at the party everyone wanted to dance with him but he wasn’t so happy about dancing。 Jim finally stood up and said he didn’t like dancing which started a ripple affect having white rhino say he doesn’t like dancing either， then flamingo， etc。 This story showed that sometimes standing up for yourself can be helpful because you might help someone else who was scared to speak up。 Jim the monkey was going to leave but he ran into porcupine who was sad about him leaving。 Porcupine mentioned food and Jim changed course and decided to stay and eat food。 The lesson I got from this was that not everything is for everyone but you can always find a compromise。 。。。more

This one is my favorite of the Grumpy Monkey books！ It talks about something very relatable and important which is that you don't have to quit social gatherings just because you don't like certain parts of them， because you might enjoy others！ And also not to pressure other to do things you "think" they should do to be able to enjoy themselves。 Great book！ This one is my favorite of the Grumpy Monkey books！ It talks about something very relatable and important which is that you don't have to quit social gatherings just because you don't like certain parts of them， because you might enjoy others！ And also not to pressure other to do things you "think" they should do to be able to enjoy themselves。 Great book！ 。。。more

This is the sequel to Grumpy Monkey， which I love and bought my own copy of。 Grumpy Monkey Party Time！ is an enjoyable picture book， and I like the clear illustrations and language。 I do recommend this for anyone who feels like they have to give something up to be in a group or struggle with being at parties or gatherings， even if it is a gathering of friends。
