There just does not seem to be any hope that the day can be saved for this gloomy youngster. Out on the wrong side of the bed and seemingly friendless, she has a series of disheartening events: clothes on backwards, cannot find her best buddies, caught in the rain, takes a wrong turn—just a rotten day. As she heads back home, hair dripping and chin on her chest, she opens the door to find her friends had come to her house to find her and that made all the difference. Four-dozen vocabulary words are listed before the rhyming story to help new readers attack the story successfully. The words are typically first-grade level with just a few challenging ones added for building confidence. A fine choice for home practice.
