Ode to a Bad Day

"Oh Too Much Milk in My Cereal! Soggy, squishy! Boggy, mushy! You turned my crispy into gushy!" Sometimes the small disappointments and inconveniences in kids' days can feel much bigger than they are. And when they start multiplying... oh, what a bad day it can become! Fortunately, as the end of the day draws near, hope rises that tomorrow will be different and it can be a good day instead.

Told in a series of dramatic odes to a day’s annoyances, this book is perfect for any kid dealing with a not-so-good day. Ode to a Bad Day lets children and caregivers alike find the humor and compassion in the days that could have gone better — and encourages readers to look forward to a better day tomorrow. Classic in sensibility but with fresh, sharp wit, this book touches on a truly universal topic with an authentic voice.

Description

"It is impressive how many despairing, outraged, and sad expressions Yum is able to give the young protagonist as the day progresses through each indignity, including itchy clothes, being late, dealing with a line cutter, and getting the hiccups. One particularly poignant illustration sees the child prone on the floor of a supermarket with one knee raised: 'Oh you Boredom'.... This is one bad day readers won’t mind reliving again and again." — Kirkus Reviews
