start your day so you can be grouchy right from the get-go; and plenty of other useful information, like grouchy modes of transportation and how to recognize different kinds of grouches.

The illustrations in How to be a Grouch are hilarious and excellent, and the book is full of funny grouchy things, like the Grouch Trashplane or the suggested foods, like hot beef stew with chocolate gravy in a melon--quite a (disgusting) mouthful!

How to be a Grouch is a wonderful book not just for fans of Sesame Street, but for anyone who'd like a funny and beautifully illustrated children's picture book.

I picked this up purely to indulge in the nostalgia of hanging out with a classic Sesame Street character. He's no Cookie Monster, but I can frequently relate to Oscar's grouchiness, especially as I get older.
