Publisher's Synopsis
Buddy is a very beautiful water fountain in a beautiful park, and he takes great pride in his appearance. He likes to look clean and fresh all the time, so imagine his dismay when children drop garbage in the fountain. Buddy gets very cranky and starts acting out. His anger only makes more children come, dropping more garbage in his clean water. Thankfully, the park cleaner Mr. Diego is there to tidy Buddy up … but the children keep coming. Due to his temper, Buddy begins to realize he's the reason so many kids are around, making his water dirtier and dirtier. Maybe if he controls his temper, things will change! Buddy the Grumpy Fountain gently teaches children the importance of tidiness and respecting other people's belongings while also showing the negative effect of a bad temper.
