Synopsis:
Sometimes a bad mood can be contagious!
Badger got up one morning feeling very grumpy. "Humph!" Badger said to himself. What was the point of being in a bad mood if nobody noticed? he thought. So Badger headed out, slamming the door behind him. Badger spreads his bad mood far and wide, greeting all his friends with angry, rude remarks that put them in bad moods, too.
A comical, cautionary tale for anyone who has ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.
My Thoughts:
Badger wakes up in a bad mood and decides that he just can't keep it to himself. The world needs to know how miserable he is, so he makes sure to grump at Raccoon, and Deer, and Fox, and Mouse, and all of his other friends, too!
Later, when his bad mood has slipped away, he attempts to find his friends to play but they are all in bad moods!
Will Badger see how his bad mood spread to his friends? And can he make amends?
This is a super cute picture book about a big emotion that is easily passed on to others, and the consequences of that. When Badger spreads his bad mood, it affects his friendships and leaves him with no one to play with and he finally realizes the chain reaction he has created.
The Bad Mood is the perfect cautionary tale for anyone who has ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed, or might!
