BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Troll is having a terrible day – his cottage falls down, he can’t get an apple, and his boats all sink. Even a rock gets in his way when he tries to huff away. He has a bad case of the Grumbles. When his friends try to console him, he grumbles at them, driving them away. After a while, he realizes that he needs to make amends. Grumbletroll is adorable even in his snit. 

I like that Grumbletroll realizes on his own that he needs to make amends for his bad behavior – that no one needs to point out his bad behavior or lecture him.
