When Georgie gets up on the wrong side of the bed, everything goes wrong. And not just for him but for all his friends, too. They engage in group activities to make themselves feel better—making pickles, gardening, knitting, baking a cake—but that all goes wrong, too. It isn’t until the last straw in their bad day strikes them all funny that they are all able to enjoy what the day has brought them. Chan is skilled at creating an understated text and letting the pictures tell most of the story in her humorous, child-friendly illustrations. This new author/illustrator in the tradition of Keiko Kasza and Kevin Henkes is definitely someone to watch. (Ages 3-5)
