The Bad Day

by Frann Preston-Gannon (Author) Frann Preston-Gannon (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Squirrel is left hanging when a search for a tasty nut goes wrong. Meanwhile, Bird has his beak buried in a tree trunk, Snake is tied in a knot, Tortoise is upside-down, and Fox? Well, Fox has a suspicious stomachache. These animals are all having a VERY BAD DAY!

But soon it becomes clear that little Mouse is having the worst day of all, and his friends can only help him--and one another--if they work together.

Written in rhyming verse, the book conveys an important message in an engaging way: If we all work together and help one another, we can accomplish things we could not do alone. The ink, pencil, and paint illustrations incorporate lots of textures, color variations, and small details (like insect friends on multiple pages) that will hold young readers' interest, inviting them to return to the story again and again. . . . An easily digestible lesson in teamwork with animal appeal.
