Description

Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. Have you ever had a day when . . .your favorite pants shrunk in the wash? your best friend was being a beast? you were too short to go on the best ride? no one would listen to you? Well, take heart-you're not alone. Everyone has one of those days sometimes. And even if you bowled gutter balls or your nice sweater made you itchy, at least there's a bright side-a brand-new day is waiting for you tomorrow, and you can laugh at those days when they're over.

"...sunny, unexpected metaphors avoid the cliches....an ego-boosting bagatelle for children, and also fun for grown-ups who may hear echoes of Cole Porter's "You're the Top." -Booklist on You Are to Me "A charming exploration of the joys of sharing."- School Library Journal on You Are to Me "..The waggish pictures illustrate the text with verve and humor."- Kirkus Reviews on 31 Uses for a Mom "Doughty's scribbly black-line drawings exude a playful, childlike charm."- Publisher's Weekly on 31 Uses for a Mom "Clever touches abound."- Booklist on Toes Have Wiggles, Kids Have Giggles
