I got this little picture book from LibrayThing Early Reviewers in exchange for a review.

This is the kind of book I enjoyed reading to my children many years ago before they became the teenagers they are today. I really liked the illustrations and the story wasn't too bad either, although it was hard to see it through the eyes of those that it was written for. There were a couple of times I was left scratching my head, especially at the man in the dry-cleaners, but other than that it was a short enjoyable story about the effect of bad moods on us all and how we can deal with them. I'm sure it will become a favourite in some households anyway.
