The Unbudgeable Curmudgeon

Matthew Burgess

3.5/5 ( ratings)

A BANK STREET BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

For any kid or parent that's having a bit of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, this book is an instant pick me up. Great for siblings, too! --Red Tricycle

After reading aloud, listeners might discover their own ways to unbudge curmudgeons.--Publishers Weekly

Playful language and a subtly rhyming text create an enjoyable read-aloud about frustrations and bad moods. --Booklist

What do you do with a curmudgeon that just won't budge? Why, shake off the grumpy 'tude and embrace the fun!

Have you ever seen a curmudgeon that looks like your brother, but is in such a bad mood you hardly recognize him? You can try all the peanut butter sandwiches and brownies you have, but he is not moving.

Nothing works, especially nudging, and he just makes you so grumpy that eventually you have no choice but to fight back--and then...

Have you ever become a curmudgeon that just won't budge?

Matthew Burgess's playful depiction of bad moods and sibling rivalry is matched perfectly by Fiona Woodcock's unique childlike art style.
