# The Snurtch - Hardcover

by **Sean Ferrell** (Author), **Charles Santoso** (Illustrator)

**Some days are Snurtch days. Ruthie is having one of those.**

Ruthie has a problem at school.

It is not the students. It is not the classroom. It is not the reading or the writing or the math. It is something scribbly, scrunchy, grabby, burpy, and rude. It is the Snurtch.

From the team behind _I Don't Like Koala_, this clever picture book takes a discerning look at the challenges of behaving and controlling your emotions--especially when your own personal monster keeps getting in the way.
