Sunny Saves the Day Russ Towne

Grumbly and Gruffina Grumpadinkle are always grouchy. Their mood is always gloomy, the weather always glum--and not a single soul could make the Grumpadinkles smile, chuckle, or guffaw--not even a teehee! Until, that is, little Wendy asks the cantankerous, cranky couple to watch her puppy Sunny.

"We've never had a dog before," Grumbly says. "It sounds like he could be a chore."

With a grumble or two, the Grumpadinkles relent, and find themselves puppy-sitting a rambunctious, playful pup that makes a mammoth mess--icky eggs, shattered plates, and spilled milk everywhere! But what is happening to Gruffina and Grumbly's scowls? Find out what happens when a rascally pup turns their whole house--and grumpy lives--upside down.

Russ Towne's Sunny Saves the Day delights children and adults, keeping them giggling with every fantastic, whimsical rhyme, and illustrates how a simple act of compassion (even when you're feeling sad) can turn a frown upside down and open the door to new friendship.
