What is a bad day? And how can one change it into a good day? For this group of animals, it means that they were each stuck in a bad spot, but due to the help of friends, their day improved. Ink, pencil, and paint illustrations show a squirrel, a woodpecker, a snake, a turtle, a fox, and a mouse each facing a difficult predicament, which become solvable when they begin to work with each other. An effectively simple way to show that working with others is better than sticking to oneself.
