Bookroo's summary

Ruthie faces a unique challenge at school: the Snurtch, a pesky, invisible monster causing chaos and testing her patience. As Ruthie struggles to manage her emotions and behavior, she discovers she's not alone—others have their own Snurtches too. Can Ruthie learn to tame her inner monster and find peace in the classroom? This delightful tale explores the trials of self-control and emotional growth with humor and heart.

From the publisher

Some days are Snurtch days. Ruthie is having one of those. Ruthie has a problem at school. It is not the students. It is not the classroom. It is not the reading or the writing or the math. It is something scribbly, scrunchy, grabby, burpy, and rude. It is the Snurtch. From the team behind I Don’t Like Koala, this clever picture book takes a discerning look at the challenges of behaving and controlling your emotions–especially when your own personal monster keeps getting in the way.
