Summary from Templar
Olive's bad mood is so bad… it's catching! Today is not a good day for
Olive. She's lost a button from her dungarees, fallen flat on her nose
and somebody has kicked a ball at her head! Olive is in a really bad
mood. So she is mean to her friends and the big bad mood spreads. But
when a trip to the sweet shop cheers Olive up, she can't understand why
all of her friends are so grumpy . . .
Nayuleska's thoughts
This is a
perfect way of showing how being in a bad mood can affect your relationship
with others. The storm cloud above Olive's head which sometimes had lightning
ended up above her friend's heads: it was a great mood indicator. Their facial
expressions as well as their posture also enhances their mood which made me
laugh on almost every page. A must read for anyone who is difficult to be
withwhen they are in a bad mood - just like Olive!
