A Good Day is a simple story about several animal being in unfortunate situations and being able to overcome those situations and turning a bad day into a good day. I think this book is a very simple book, but I am a fan of animals so I did enjoy the book. Also, at the end the little bird at the beginning who had lost their favorite tail feather forgets about and prospers. A little girl finds that tail feather and it makes her day a good day. So the possible message here is that one person's loss is another person's gain.
In my classroom I would use this book for younger students because of its simplicity and would be mostly used as silent reading book. There is also some nature elements in this book, so I could use this book as a starter book for a possible nature unit. When looking at the illustrations for this book they do an excellent job of reinforcing the text and really help express the animals emotions. I really think it is important for students to be able to read emotions and this book could be an aid in getting that point across.
