The Day the Crayons Quit meets Winnie the Pooh in this hilarious and tea-riffic illustrated picture book about stuffed animals who start bickering at their tea party.
Its tea time at Clarissas house, but her guests are not in the mood for a party:
Elephant is upset about the ice cream Clarissa dropped on his head.
Rabbit is still damp from being left outside.
Pig has a rip thats yet to be repaired.
Monkey is miffed over being put to bed when he wasnt even tired.
Bear has been forgotten all week long.
And, the stuffies declare, Clarissa thinks shes Queen of the Universe!
So instead of a tea party, Clarissa finds herself at a crankypants party! Can Clarissa and her stuffed animals make up before their tea gets cold, or will they continue to steep in their crankiness
