Bookroo's summary

Jim Panzee dreads returning to school, but a hide-and-seek blunder leaves him stinky and in need of learning. With his friend Norman's help, Jim discovers that mistakes can be the best teachers. Will he embrace the chaos and find fun in learning? Dive into this hilarious adventure where school becomes a jungle of surprises!

From the publisher

An original graphic novel based on the #1 New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey picture books, perfect for children who are ready for longer storylines and hilarious dialogue. This time, Jim Panzee is going back to school. And he is NOT pleased. During a game of hide-and-seek, Jim Panzee causes a real stink. Literally. He walks right into Polecat’s log to hide and instead gets covered in Polecat’s smelly spray. His friends remind Jim that if he’d paid attention in class, he’d have learned to identify animals by their footprints. So it’s back to school for Jim! Guess what! School can be fun–once you get into the swing of it! But when Jim finds himself failing, his best friend, Norman, helps him understand that learning doesn’t only happen when you get everything right–you can learn from your mistakes, too. This silly back-to-school graphic novel will engage even the most reluctant readers and will keep kids laughing from the first page to the last. Also inside: A Primate Primer from Jim’s mom! A trail mix recipe from Jim’s dad!
