"Jim Panzee is very grumpy about Valentine's Day until his buddy Norman shows him that the holiday is for everyone."--

"On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark for trick-or-treating. But the jungle looks and sounds very different at night. As the hunt for treats gets spookier and spookier, Jim and his friends tell themselves not to be scared, but a pair of glowing eyes in the pitch-dark jungle might push them over the edge! Or maybe they'll make a new friend."--

Jim Panzee wakes up in a bad mood one beautiful day, but he keeps denying he is grumpy even as his friends give advice for feeling better.

Jim Panzee feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, and according to Jim's best friend Norman, 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 only reason Jim isn't excited about this party! Now, their job complete, the other animals sweep Jim along, all the way to the dance floor. Jim is dipped, swayed, and twirled until he can't take it anymore--he...

Grumpy Jim Panzee decides that it is time for a new Jim, so he enlists his friends to help him get mad so he can stomp all his grumps out, and become a new Jim for the new year.

Jim Panzee, really likes bananas. And that's all he ever wants to eat. Good luck getting him to try anything else because he is a pretty picky eater.

"When Jim Panzee is banished from the jungle after making Oxpecker mad at him, his best friend Norman joins him, but when they end up in the desert and Norman is miserable, Jim agrees to apologize so they can go back home"--OCLC.

"Hilarious chaos ensues when Jim agrees to watch Oxpecker's egg, which rolls away while he takes a break for lunch and ends up in Snake's nest where the snake hatchlings think Jim is their mother"--

"Jim Panzee is faced with something everyone hates...waiting...and waiting...and more waiting. Jim tries to be patient but he's even impatient waiting for patience. It doesn't happen right away, but eventually, Jim realizes that some things are worth waiting for"--

A story presented as a series of framed portraits features animals in dozens of combinations that represent and celebrate all kinds of non-traditional families.
