Twelve stunningly illustrated, poetic, and funny stories about grumpy animals from an internationally acclaimed Dutch writer and a hugely popular French illustrator.

In 12 short chapters, we see different animals in various states of anger. Some try to understand their anger, some try to tame it, while others let their anger overwhelm them. These stories are funny and wry, but also offer a gently profound reflection of the nature of human emotions. Marc Boutavant's delicate, stunning full colour illustrations put the reader in the heart of the forest, surrounded by endearingly grumpy animals. This book is a beautifully produced hardback which would make the perfect gift for older children as well as adults.

Industry Reviews

"A book that invites readers to noodle around with their own relationship to anger in all of its various forms. ... Like the lovely classic, The Little Prince, this is a book unafraid of deeper emotions and ambiguities."

-- Publishers Weekly (US)

"Pleasantly lacking moral-mongering, this fresh collection will appeal to parents and children who enjoy sharing stories as springboards to discussion and speculation."

-- Kirkus Reviews (US)

"Curious, compelling tales of animal anger, luminously illustrated."

-- Metro (UK)
