AlbakiReads Editorial

A party, a dance floor, and room to speak up

Jim Panzee’s worry about dancing gives this party story a clear focus: feeling uncomfortable when a group expects everyone to join in. His friends try to help him learn some moves, but Jim’s honest response opens space for others to say how they feel, too. The party setting keeps the story centered on a familiar social situation, while its board-book format and abridged text present the series tale for younger audiences. At its heart is the idea that naming a personal boundary can help others express theirs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children encountering social situations where they feel pressured to join in
  • Families looking for a picture-book story about speaking up and personal comfort
  • Fans of the Grumpy Monkey series

Book overview

It's party time and everyone's favorite #1 New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey is not exactly in a partying mood...

Have you ever been a little anxious about going to a party? Jim Panzee feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, there will be--gulp--dancing. Jim can DEFINITELY not dance. When he tells his friends, they all try to teach him cool moves--surely that's the reason Jim isn't excited!

On the dance floor at the party, Jim is dipped, swayed, and twirled until he can't take it anymore--he just doesn't like to dance! His friends can't believe what they're hearing. Then Water Buffalo reveals that he doesn't much care to dance, either. Marabou admits to always feeling silly on the dance floor. Maybe a party is just not the place for them? Or ... maybe there's more than one way to have fun at a party!

In this hilarious follow-up to GRUMPY MONKEY, Jim shows it's okay not to go with the flow if you don't want to, and that speaking up about what you need might help others speak up, too. With its sparkly party hat on the cover and double-gatefold conga line, Party Time! is the perfect party gift!
