How the Grinch Stole Christmas meets Ren & Stimpy in this graphic novel about confronting your emotions, perfect for kids who love the fun weirdness of theCatwad and Bird & Squirrel series. All the woodland creatures of Happy Forest (where even trees and flowers smile) go to Fluff Nugget, a fluffy, round critter of indeterminate species, when they need cheering up--he just sings them the 'Goodbye Grumpy Grumps' song and they feel happy again! But when this happens too much...like, WAY too much...it starts to wear on Fluff Nugget, until he feels grumpier than anyone. After he lets loose a cry of 'I AM NOT OK!' Fluff Nugget and his woodland friends must figure out a better way to boost the mood. Will the Happy Forest ever be the same again?'DeGrand's bright and bold over-the-top cartoon artwork escalates the frenetic energy of the story, in which just about every object has a smiley face, and that will keep kids turning the pages. The helpful message that it's OK to ask for space is welcome, but it's the raucous art and slapstick comedy that steals the show.' - Booklist
