Goodreads

As his name signifies, Mr. Complain is a fussy fellow who is not enamored with his train ride until the train goes on a loop-de-loop roller coaster-like track. The book has a simple plot and some  fun interactive pages where  you read the book on its side and upside down. It makes a not so subtle point about complaining and may offer a humorous lesson for some preschool children. Incidentally, this book is by the same author as The Dinosaur on the Thirteenth Floor,  which was the 2018 Lupine Award Picture book Honor title featuring illustrations by Kevin Hawkes.
