Bookroo's summary

Jim Panzee can't stand Valentine's Day, especially with all the lovey-dovey fuss. But when his friend Norman shows him the holiday's broader meaning, Jim learns it's not just about romance. With humor and heart, Jim discovers the many forms of love, from friendship to family. Will he embrace the spirit of the day, or remain grumpy? Dive into this delightful tale to find out!

From the publisher

The New York Times #1 bestselling character Jim Panzee is very grumpy about Valentine’s Day until his buddy Norman shows him that the holiday is for everyone. Two pages of full-color stickers are included for extra fun! This holiday hardcover book is brimming with the same silly humor that characterizes all the beloved titles in the bestselling Grumpy Monkey series. When Jim Panzee hears Oxpecker cooing over her doting boyfriend on Valentine’s Day, he has just one thought: Gross. But Jim finds out that not everything about Valentine’s Day is hearts and kisses. Jim learns there are different types of valentines and many kinds of love, such as love for a parent or for friends.
