4.0 out of 5 stars Great to highlight that everyone has a bad day, 21 Nov 2003
By A Customer
I have used this as part of self esteem and anger management sessions and it has been really good. No-one's day could ever be quite as bad as this one in reality - so you can always show that someone has had a worse day and dealt with it well. Thought it would have been nice if it was in colour, as the kids can loose interest in black & white picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!!!!, 19 Nov 1997
By A Customer
When I was 16 yrs old I worked in daycare, one day I found this book and read it to my class...It was so great, every child soon knew every word and I was ask to read almost everyday. That was 14 yrs ago, I now have my own 6 yr old son, and this is his favorite book, we read it all the time. Even my mother who is near 70 yrs old laughs each time she reads it. It is a wonderful book for all ages. Everyone can relate to having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!, 11 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I love this book...It shows children how others have bad days. The way the book is written makes the children you read to want to participate. Pretty soon you have the children talking aloud with you as you read!
