Georgie’s Best Bad Day

Ruth Chan

Georgie wakes up to a day when nothing seems to go right, and his friends are having trouble as well. Together they try activities meant to improve their moods: making pickles, gardening, knitting, and baking a cake. Each effort goes badly, too. Eventually, the latest setback strikes the group as funny, changing how they experience the day. The understated text and illustrations trace their shared frustrations and the humor they finally find in them.

As they wait, the smaller creature names things that seem scarier, including snakes, spiders, hot lava, fried ants, and an alien. A snake is aboard when the roller coaster arrives, and the pair decide to be scared together. Their ride is documented largely through pictures and screams, with the snake just as terrified behind them. When it ends, all three want another ride.Under FiveLexile Text Measure AD310LATOS Book Level 2.3On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
