Mom woke up the Good Morning Grump so he could get ready for school. He got out of bed and began to get dressed in a grumpy manner since he was still sleepy. He went to the kitchen and ate a large bowl of cereal just to get the price. After breakfast, his mom washed his face, making his face look less like a monster. Then he washed his teeth and combed his hair and looked like a regular little boy. Finally, he was no longer the morning grump but instead a happy boy named Christopher who was off to school. This book is a poetry book because it rhymes and has short sentences on each page describing the mood of the character as it changes throughout the book.
I would use this book in my classroom as a fun read. Students between the grades of PK-2 would enjoy reading this book because of the transformation the Morning Grump goes through. It would be a good book to use in a feelings unit or just to have in my classroom library.
