At first Jim is impressed with Norman's new pet bugs, but he quickly becomes jealous of all the time Norman spends with them and when the bugs have babies, Jim declares Norman has too many pets.

Oxpecker asks Jim the monkey to watch her egg, and he reluctantly agrees to sit on the egg but soon gets bored. His friends Leslie and Norman come by, and he explains that he is egg-sitting. They offer to take turns sitting on the egg, so Jim can have some fun with them. At lunchtime, Jim realizes no one is sitting on the egg, and it starts rolling away. The egg lands in Snake's nest, but they can't be certain which one is Oxpecker's egg. When the eggs hatch, the baby bird knows who its mother is, but the baby snakes think Jim is their mother.

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.

"Have you ever been a little anxious about going to a party? Jim Panzee feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, and everyone is going. Jim doesn't want to go because he can't dance. But then his friends try to teach him some cool moves. Soon the other animals sweep Jim along, all the way to the party"--Jacket flap.

"On the spookiest night of the year, Jim Panzee and his jungle friends brave the dark to collect treats. Not only does the jungle look different at night, it sounds different. What's that knock-knock-knock and that HAHA HAHA HAHA? And the smell? PEE-YEW! 'Don't be scared,' they tell Jim. But then two glowing eyes flash overhead, and looking for treats is almost abandoned"--Publisher.

"Jim Panzee is in a grumpy mood, and the only word he seems to know is "no.""--.

"Jim Panzee is out for his usual Wednesday walk when he accidentally squishes his stress orange into orange juice. He and his friends must cross the jungle before all of the fresh oranges are gone"--Provided by publisher.

"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." --.

"On the way to the pineapple plant, Tortoise can't stop asking "Are we there yet?" making Jim Panzee a very Grumpy Monkey."--Page [4] of cover.
