Gruff the Grump


 
Gruff the Grump
by Steve Smallman

Summary: When a grizzly bear, called Gruff the Grump by other animals, grudgingly listens to a small rabbit's pleas for help, she thanks him with simple gifts that reveal to him how dark and lonely his life has become.

This is a fantastic story for discussing moodiness in children themselves or adults. The moral is you have to give up being grumpy in order to be happy.
