A Good Day

The first book is for my blog is the first book I read to my daughter, A Good Day by Kevin Henkes. The book is intended for small children but like most book for small children A Good Day has a clear message. No matter how your day is going there is a light at the end of the tunnel and perseverance will help make things better. The other message is that for every bad day there is a good day. This book is from the realistic fiction genre. The things that happen in this book happen all the time and usually occur quite frequently. The first activity that someone's could do in response to this simple yet insightful book in a classroom setting would be to have people think of something bad that may have happened to them and then something good which in turn shows that for all the bad things there are good things. The second activity could be to share experiences in which they made someone's day better just like the little girl finding the lost feather. Even though, the bird lost his feather he could still fly, but the girl finding the feather turned her day into such a good day. This book is great in the terms like I mentioned. I hope that kids are being read too and the books have a strong message jus as this one days. The sun is going to come up again and things will get better, is a message so many people need in this day and age. Keep working hard and good things will happen.
