Book Overview

When Alicia wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, she meets her bad day head-on in Lisa Jahn-Clough's fresh look at shaking off a mood, perfect for fans of Grumpy Monkey and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Bad days--we all have them. But what do we do about them?

Meet Alicia and her trusty friend, Neptune. Alicia is usually a cheerful child who likes to dance very fast and stand on her head. What will she do when she wakes one morning feeling miserable? At first, none of Alicia's clever and quirky remedies, such as moping in her favorite chair and writing in her notebook, seem to cure her gloom. Then, in a place least expected, a delightful surprise awaits, and Alicia makes a joyous discovery.

Lisa Jahn-Clough has created a unique character with a spunky spirit all her own. Alicia will charm her way into the hearts of readers young and old on any day.

"Funny and original." --Kirkus Reviews

Lugubrious

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Where else will you find the word lugubrious, especially in a book for children? This book is excellent for all the reasons stated by the other reviews, as well as a vocabulary builder!

A delight!

This book is a delight for readers of all ages. The pictures are vibrant and energetic. The things Alicia does are the same things I do when I have a bad day (except for smooshing ant hills). I want everyone to read this book!!!

a picture book worth reading

I thought this book dealt really well with the issue of kids having bad days. I read this to my first grade class and they had a lot to say about how they deal with their own bad days. It's great to see a book (besides Alexander and the terrible, no good, very bad day) addressing the fact that young people have bad days, too! Alicia gets herself out of her bad day on her own accord. She is a great, spunky character. Her dog is a treat, too. I hope Jahn-Clough will write more about Alicia. She could be an important character and role model.

well done book dealing with emotions.

I just discovered this great book. Alicia is an interesting character who must deal with a bad mood. The art is a bit primitive, but bright and colorful. I love this book and so does my 4 year-old!
