Critics Review
Filled with humorous twists and turns, something good, indeed, for storytime.
—Kirkus Reviews
With quirky, delightful characters in an expressionistic world of whimsically aware vegetation and cheerfully empathetic creatures, prolific creator Kraegel’s distinctive, somewhat naive-style art enhances the humorously relatable experience of just “being in a mood.” A fresh addition to the enduring canon of bad day books.

The message that most bad days come to an end and good things arrive is not a new one in children’s lit, but it remains a reassuring one, and this has a quirky absurdity that brings a charming freshness.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Feather-light messages about sharing joys and not assuming the worst accompany this swiftly paced, effervescent comedy with Peanuts vibes.
—Publishers Weekly
