Told in a series of dramatic odes to her day's annoyances, Alexander (of the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day ) has got NOTHING on this girl whose day just gets worse and worse! Oh Too Much Milk in My Cereal! Soggy, squishy! Boggy, mushy! You turned my crispy into gushy! Sometimes the little bumps in our days can feel much bigger than they are. And when they start multiplying . . . oh, what a bad day it can become! Told in a series of dramatic odes to a day's annoyances, 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.

The struggles of the main character immediately capture the drama of childhood without making the world seem totally hopeless and antagonistic.

You can be upset and still be a regular person; you can have a bad day and still rhyme about it.
