| Publisher Description: A bad day can turn into a good one Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes's masterful picture book explores a single day from five different points of view. It's a bad day for a little yellow bird who loses his favorite tail feather, a little white dog whose leash gets tangled, a little orange fox who can't find his mother, and a little brown squirrel who drops her nut. But then something good happens to each of them, turning a bad day into a good one. What makes a good day? What makes a bad day? And how can bad be transformed into good? This exploration of opposites and emotions was described as a deceptively simple picture book, expertly tuned to the emotions and imaginations of young children by ALA Booklist in a starred review. |
