Summary
The Yowler family is always in a monstrously bad mood—Papa grumbles, Mama yells, Sara and Sonya bicker, and the baby fusses day and night. They’re so used to being grumpy that when their new neighbors smile at them, the Yowlers are puzzled and are immediately suspicious. And when the new kids ask Sara and Sonya to play? Well, that’s just plain odd. Then again, it does feel good to be treated kindly … and all of a sudden the sisters start acting nicer themselves, causing Mama and Papa to wonde…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Text full of alliteration and gentle humor… . A tool for social-emotional learning … clearly states its explicit message about kindness in terms kids will easily understand. Funny, action-filled illustrations reminiscent of Mercer Mayer’s work round out this lesson in positivity… . Upbeat antidote to grumpiness.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Ruttan’s monsters, with their soft charcoal outlines, horned heads, and sharp-toothed goofy expressions, would fit in adorably with the cast of Monsters Inc. The Yowlers’ misinterpretation of basic neighborly kindness is continual fodder for humor and the wordplay would make for a fun read-aloud experience… . There are plenty of goofy antics to keep little ones entertained by the Yowlers.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
