This original story tackles a common toddler issue as the bestselling character Grumpy Monkey finds out that it’s okay to try something new.

Jim Panzee gives the same answer whenever he is offered something unfamiliar to eat—YUCK! He gives that same answer when he’s encouraged to “just try it.” But when picky eater Jim is offered a snack that promises to be sweet and tasty, he just might give in—and discover that he likes it! Here’s a story for all those toddlers whose all-purpose response to any new food is “Yuck.”
