The Very Grumpy Day

24 pp. | Tiger Tales | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-68010-012-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alison Edgson. Bear's grumpy stomping makes Mole's tunnel collapse. Mole angrily throws his shovel, over which Hedgehog trips. The chain reaction continues until Bear finds a present from Mouse, which sparks a good deed, inspiring another, and so on. While the point that small actions can have big consequences is capably made, it deserves less twee illustrations and wording ("Mouse tappity-tap-tapped," etc.).
