Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Gus the Pirate is always grumpy, but can the wise Pirate Queen convince him to change his ways? There is one grumpy pirate. They call him Grumpy Gus. He grunts and gripes and grouses, and always makes a fuss. Gus the Pirate complains about everything -- ARRRRRGH ! Gus grumbles about his lumpy bed and his itchy clothes. He complains about the yucky food and doing his chores on the pirate ship. Even sailing toward buried treasure can't make Gus happy! Finally, the other pirates have had enough! They ask the Pirate Queen to help.So the Pirate Queen gives Grumpy Gus a pet parrot -- but the parrot is grumpy, too! After Gus spends the day with a parrot who's just as grumbly and grouchy as he is, Gus realizes his bad attitude might be a little hard to deal with. Can Gus turn his frown upside down before the other pirates make him walk the plank?All kids can relate to feeling grumpy like Gus, and this swashbuckling pirate adventure teaches kids the importance of trying to have a positive attitude!
Grumpy Gus is one pirate that complains about everything, even about seeking treasure, an attitude that annoys his fellow pirates--so the Pirate Queen gives Gus an equally grumpy parrot in hopes that it will teach Gus a lesson and make him change his grumpy ways.
