The hilarious #1 New York Times bestselling picture book about dealing with unexplained feelings...and the danger in suppressing them. Jim the chimpanzee is in a terrible mood for no good reason. His friends can't understand it--how can he be in a bad mood when it's SUCH a beautiful day? They encourage him not to hunch, to smile, and to do things that make THEM happy.
