Reviews

Jeremy Tankard's deceptively simple tale is a useful tonic for moody kids -- and their parents -- but the best thing about it is the comic perfection of Bird's face as he marches along in a fury. -- The Wall Street JournalGrumpy Bird would make a good addition to storytimes with themes of emotions or imagination. -- School Library JournalAwards for Grumpy Bird - Los Angeles Times Favorite Books of 2007- Nominee, Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award, 2008- Nominee, CBA Libris Award, Children's Illustrator of the Year, 2008- Shortlist, The Amelia Francess Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award, 2008- Nominee, Shining Willow Award, 2007- OLA Best Bets, 2007- CBC Sounds Like Canada Children's Book Panel Selection- Nominee, Blue Spruce Award, 2007- Toronto Public Library First & Best booklist- Nominee, Early Years Niagara Literary Award
