A mushroom’s very bad day

Mushroom’s troubles pile up: he misses out on a place on the pizza, gets splashed with milk, and ends up in the compost bin. In response, he decides to build an army and seek revenge, setting up a comic picture-book story around a familiar question: what do you do with anger when things go wrong? The description frames the book as an exploration of revenge, kindness, and managing emotions, with expressive illustrations accompanying the story. Its central conflict gives young children a clear way into thinking about how frustration can shape choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books

Book overview

For fans of The Sour Grape, here is a laugh-out-loud picture book about resisting the temptation for revenge--and why it's rarely the answer.

Mushroom is having a bad day . . . okay, maybe that's an understatement. Mushroom is having the worst day EVER. First, he's not picked to go on the pizza (and Pineapple is chosen instead of him--can you believe it?! PINEAPPLE!). Then, Milk spills all over him. Just when he thinks it can't get any worse, he's thrown in the compost bin. What else is a mushroom to do but build an army and take revenge?!

Becky Davies's hilariously outrageous text and Thomas Elliott's expressive and laugh-out-loud illustrations pair perfectly to teach little ones an important lesson on revenge, kindness, and managing emotions.
