Halloween is over, but it looks like we're not really done with Halloween books! This is part of a book series that never disappoints the readers.

Title: Grumpy Monkey Don't Be Scared

Author: Suzanne Lang

Illustrator: Max Lang

Publisher: Random House Studio

It's Halloween night and Jim (aka Grumpy Monkey) and his friends head out into the jungle for trick or treating (with no costumes), even though they are all afraid of the dark (they don't admit that though!). Since the trick-or-treating was in the jungle, lots of different sounds and smells greeted them as they ventured out into the night. Every time Jim saw, heard, smelt or felt something that scared him; he would act like it was not scaring him. However, in reality, he was scared of every noise, the dark, and the smells. Who could be creating these sounds and smells… creepy indeed!

There is a limit for anything, correct? Jim was unable to take it anymore, but then one other animal gave out a scream because all his friends were scared too!

📚 Little ones will appreciate the ending while discovering who ultimately got all the treats!

📚 Engaging illustrations perfect for Halloween
