The jungle animals try to share their excitement over Christmas with Jim Panzee, but he feels too grumpy to appreciate their efforts.

"Jim Panzee is very grumpy about Valentine's Day until his buddy Norman shows him that the holiday is for everyone"--.

At first Jim is impressed with Norman's new pet bugs, but he quickly becomes jealous of all the time Norman spends with them and when the bugs have babies, Jim declares Norman has too many pets.

Jim Panzee feels that. Porcupine is having a big party, and according to Jim's best friend Norman, there will be--gulp--dancing. Jim can DEFINITELY not dance. When he tells his friends, they all try to teach him cool moves--surely that's the only reason Jim isn't excited about this party! Now, their job complete, the other animals sweep Jim along, all the way to the dance floor. Jim is dipped, swayed, and twirled until he can't take it anymore--he...

Grumpy Jim Panzee decides that it is time for a new Jim, so he enlists his friends to help him get mad so he can stomp all his grumps out, and become a new Jim for the new year.

When Jim Panzee is banished from the jungle after making Oxpecker mad at him, his best friend Norman joins him, but when they end up in the desert and Norman is miserable, Jim agrees to apologize so they can go back home.
