Description

See below for English description.

Ce matin, Oiseau s’est levé du mauvais pied. Il est si grognon qu’il n’a même pas envie de manger ni de jouer, et encore moins de voler! Il décide donc de marcher. Tout au long du chemin, un à un, ses amis Mouton, Lapin, Raton laveur, Castor et Renard le rejoignent pour lui tenir compagnie et lui faire découvrir qu’un petit peu d’exercice et quelques bons amis sont le remède idéal pour retrouver la bonne humeur.

 

Your favourite story about waking up on the wrong side of the...nest.

 

Bird wakes up grumpy. Too grumpy to eat, play, or even fly. "Looks like I'm walking today," says Bird grumpily. All of this grumpy walking piques the interest of his friends and soon Sheep, Rabbit, Raccoon, Beaver, and Fox are walking alongside him. Somewhere along the way Bird realises that his friends are still there, but his mood is gone, proving that sometimes grumpy needs company!

 

This bright book can be read again and again to help kids (and grown-ups) giggle away their darkest moods.
