"A Good Day" by Kevin Henkes

This was another very simple book, geared towards early readers.  The print on each page is very large and the pictures are simple but eye-catching.  I liked that the book started out as "a bad day" and turned to "a good day."  It shows children that even if things aren't going well, they can always turn around and end up well in the end.  I think that children would enjoy reading this book because it has a happy ending.  I also think that a lot of kids like reading books with animals as the main characters, so they would appreciate that about this book.  A Good Day is a newer book, published in 2007, but has an "old" feel to it.  I think that this may repel some readers who choose books based on their looks, but I think this quality makes the book look more interesting.  It gives it an antique feel, one that students probably don't experience much with so much emphasis on reading newer books.  Overall this is an interesting and simple book for younger readers!
