Some Days Are Just Like That

Of all of the classics I've read through high school and college, this is still my "All Time Favorite". I read it as a child, as a baby-sitter, and now as a mom. The children love the humor and the refrain and I love the reminder that "some days are just like that, even in Australia". This book is well-written and delivers an important message to children (and adults) - bad days happen to everyone once in a while.

...and, although it's subtle, this story is written with a great rhythm for reading aloud.

Great Book for Someone Who Loves To Read To Kids

After reading the negative reviews I had to post my own once I read this book to my little boy. This book has run-on sentences, no color, and a very negative attitude coming from a little boy that says "hate" several times throughout the story. However, for a mom that likes to make up voices, and generally have fun when reading, I loved it, and so did my son! This is NOT a book that you want to get in order to teach children how to deal with "bad days", but it is helpful at the end, by saying "My mom says some days are like that, even in Australia" because this is the truth. Not all days are rainbows and butterflies, some of them stink, but we have to deal with, maybe whine a little, but go to bed that night and face the next day with a smile. Hope this helps!

Lighten up! Didn't you ever have one of those days?

A friend gave this to me in college after I had my own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. We all got a big kick out of it, and could relate to it easily as young adults all the way back to our own childhoods.

I read a few reviews here that said this book was negative and teaches our children to complain... oh my! If a book like this warps a child that much, I'd say the parents have bigger things to worry about and maybe they need a vacation (to Australia)!

It's light-hearted and funny, enjoyable by all ages.

love it!

I grew up reading this book, and was so excited when I found it on here! I love to read it to my daughter when either or us is having a bad day.

A not so terrible, horrible, no too bad, book

I like this book. I have had a copy in my collection for quite some time. Everyone one has bad days, teach your children that they can determine whether or not they are going to have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. It is their choice.
I also recommend books by Beau Beaudoin. His picture books have topped my children's favorite books list. The Url King and Boetry
