Grover is having a bad day. As soon as he wakes up he stubbs his toe. He forgets his lunch, forgets part of his alphebet, the big kids don’t want to play with him, etc. The last straw is on the way home and his rain boot gets stuck to a piece of gum.

He walks home with one boot on to tell his mother the whole story. Grover sits on her lap and cries for a while. Then they go out and retrieve the boot and go get ice cream.

In the end he says, “I think tomorrow will be a better day.”

It is a nice little book that help kids see that everyone gets frustrated and has bad days.

I would recommend it for kids 3 and up. There is a lot of reading that kids much younger probably would not sit through.
