A bad mood can be contagious!
When Badger wakes up in a bad mood, heβs determined to let everyone know. He greets all his friends with grumpy, rude remarks.

This comical cautionary tale is great for anyone who has ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.

“Petz's words model for youngsters how to apologize when they have done something they are not proud of. This beautifully written story is sure to invite multiple reads. Its simple but valuable lesson, that it's normal to sometimes be in a bad mood, reminds kids that taking a deep breath is much better than taking it out on your friends. The Bad Mood! needs to be added to the mindfulness section in school classrooms.”
