As we worked together (now all with green hands) we had some good discussions about the last time she was grumpy, what she did to cheer up and what she would do to cheer up the grumpy frog (cuddles and kisses apparently).A hilarious book with a twist in the tale about getting, and getting rid of, the grumps, Grumpy Frogsubtly teaches the importance of being kind to all.

Talk about grumpy frog, his feelings and how they change, While this book's text and illustrations are simple, there are many things that can be discussed after reading this story. Grumpy Frog by Ed Vere starts with a happy frog that loves winning, hopping, and the color green. All other colors can easily turn him from happy to grumpy. But pink is his all-time worst color. While his friends are just fine with all colors, his reluctance to accept anything but green leaves him unable to join his friends when they are swimming (blue water), bouncing (yellow trampoline) and enjoying other things together. Frog holds tight to his thinking that all colors except green just don’t work for him and cause him to be grumpy. So he sits alone. Without friends. Convincing himself that he is fine. But will something help him change his mind? Or will he remain strong regarding his thoughts and feelings? And is there even a legitimate reason to feel happy and grumpy? Frog is not grumpy. Well, as long as he can only look at green, and do green things with his friends he wants to do, and he'd really like it to be his birthday every day...so maybe he is grumpy.
