Grumpy Monkey Party Time!
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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!

Jim Panzee--the primate protagonist of Grumpy Monkey (2019) fame--is having a fine day until he receives an invitation to a party; the comic anxiety commences. The source of Jim's nerves is the idea of dancing. Jim Panzee, as it turns out, doesn't know how to dance. This information shocks his jungle friends, who each give him pointers on how to bust a move on the dance floor. Jim tries to go along with his friends but discovers he's not having a good time, not because he can't dance, but because he actually doesn't like dancing. Speaking out about his preferences inspires other animals to voice that they aren't fans of the pastime either. They discover there are many other fun things to do at a party, like enjoy refreshments and play games, and still have a great time. Like its precursor, this title emphasizes self-acceptance and authenticity. It effectively communicates through the fanciful illustrations the feelings of facing pressure to conform to others' expectations and the relief of honesty. Whatever gains this title develops in terms of social-emotional learning concepts, however, are offset by the insensitive use of a monkey protagonist, particularly linked to the racialized skill of dancing. It's a shame that a series so imbued with emotional intelligence does not demonstrate more awareness of historical use of simian imagery as a derogatory referent to black people. Likely to find mass appeal but should be considered with scrutiny. (Picture book. 4-8)COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

September 1, 2019
Grades K-2 Simian scowler Jim Panzee, introduced in Grumpy Monkey (2018), again falls afoul of a horde of too-helpful animal friends when, upon receiving a party invitation, confesses that he doesn't know how to dance. Observant readers will notice that throughout the wild rumpus, which culminates in a double gatefold conga line, Jim looks increasingly unhappy. Finally he bursts out to general astonishment that he really doesn't like dancing?and as it turns out, neither do Water Buffalo, Maribou, or Bat. Fortunately, there's more to a good party than dancing; once Jim discovers the food (including worried-looking rabbit labeled Fresh Meat ), the games (including tag, led by that rabbit), and the pleasure of simply hanging out with friends, the miserable experience becomes a great time. Though somewhat a remake of the previous episode, the emphasis changes from recognizing one's own feelings to having the courage to express them, providing a decent thematic foundation. Carping critics will note that Jim is no more a monkey than Curious George . . . but, hey, that banana was peeled long ago.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
