About this book
Or ANGRY AS A DUCK?
Maybe SAD AS A CHICKEN?
(Can you sadly say "CLUCK CLUCK"?)

Boynton's clever animals creations exemplify a wide range of emotions in this hilarious story about different feelings. Young readers are sure to giggle as interactive text asks them if they are "grumpy as a moose or excited as a dog?" Maybe young readers are "worried as a rabbit or contented as a frog?"
This new Boynton board book covers the first concept of moods with her charming, trademark sense of humor.
