    “Bright watercolors of animals doing their thing are winning accompaniments to the narrative’s welcome message that it’s OK to be down sometimes.” —School Library Journal

    “Great bibliotherapy for the crabby, cranky, and cross. Oscar-nominated animator Max Lang’s cartoony illustrations lighten the mood without making light of Jim’s mood.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Crisp illustrations featuring a broad cast of animated, boldly colored animals …will draw readers into Jim’s situation until the reassuring outcome. “ —Booklist

    “[A] reassuring picture book about feelings.” —Publishers Weekly
