A school-day mishap becomes a lesson in learning from mistakes

Jim Panzee’s return to school begins with a hide-and-seek blunder: he ends up covered in Polecat’s spray after choosing the wrong hiding place. The mistake sends him back to class to learn about identifying animals by their footprints. When Jim struggles with the work, his friend Norman helps him see that getting things wrong can be part of learning. This graphic novel pairs animal antics and school subject matter with a clear theme of persistence. It also includes a primate primer from Jim’s mom and a trail mix recipe from his dad.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 ready for a longer graphic-novel storyline
  • Young readers interested in animal characters and school adventures
  • Fans of the Grumpy Monkey picture books

Book overview

An original graphic novel based on the #1 New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey picture books, perfect for children who are ready for longer storylines and hilarious dialogue. This time, Jim Panzee is going back to school. And he is NOT pleased.

During a game of hide-and-seek, Jim Panzee causes a real stink. Literally. He walks right into Polecat's log to hide and instead gets covered in Polecat's smelly spray. His friends remind Jim that if he'd paid attention in class, he'd have learned to identify animals by their footprints. So it's back to school for Jim!

Guess what! School can be fun--once you get into the swing of it! But when Jim finds himself failing, his best friend, Norman, helps him understand that learning doesn't only happen when you get everything right--you can learn from your mistakes, too.

This silly back-to-school graphic novel will engage even the most reluctant readers and will keep kids laughing from the first page to the last.

Also inside: A Primate Primer from Jim's mom! A trail mix recipe from Jim's dad!
