My new graphic novel from HACHETTE BOOK GROUP!
“Kooky, silly fun that will have kids laughing and asking for more!” -Jim Benton, creator of Catwad and Franny K. Stein
“A hilarious story with sumptuous art and blissfully surreal characters!” -Nick Bruel, creator of the New York Times bestselling Bad Kitty series
“This book is like one of those songs you can’t get out of your head; it’s so good!” -Raul the Third, creator of the El Toro & Friends and The Snips series
“I was really grumpy when asked to read this book, but then the ‘Goodbye Grumpy Grumps’ song wormed its way into my thick skull and now I’m a happy Fluff Nugget!” -Kaz, cartoonist and writer for SpongeBob Squarepants
“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
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 the Catwad and Bird & Squirrel series.
All the woodland creatures of Chuckleberry Acres (where even trees and flowers smile) go to Fluff Nugget 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?
