Bookroo's summary

Billy is a moody kid who doesn't fit in. A trip to the animal rescue reveals cheerful pets that don't suit him. But in a hidden corner, he discovers a group of grouchy animals. One particularly grumpy pup catches his eye. Could this be the companion Billy needs? Discover how staying true to yourself can lead to unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

Billy’s not like the other kids. He’s a bit moody, a bit cranky, a bit . . . grumpy. In hopes of cheering him up, his mom takes him and his sister to the animal rescue one Saturday morning. All the animals are cute and playful, but they’re a little too happy for Billy’s taste. When Billy wanders into another section of the store, however, he stumbles across a different group of animals awaiting adoption. These pets are grouchy and scruffy. In fact, they seem downright grumpy–just like Billy! He catches the eye of a particularly grumpy pup–could this be the friend Billy has been looking for? Grumpy Pets shows that there’s a perfect match for everyone, if you stay true to yourself.
