Reach for this book when your child is having a 'naughty' day and needs to feel that they are still loved despite their mistakes. It is also perfect for the child who finds traditional manners books a bit too stuffy. Through twenty-six humorous poems, the book introduces a cast of children engaging in all sorts of mischief, from being messy to being a bit too loud. It provides a safe, silly space to explore the concept of being 'rotten' without the weight of actual trouble. This collection is ideal for elementary-aged children who are developing a sense of irony and humor. It normalizes the fact that everyone has bad days, while the clever wordplay builds vocabulary and a love for poetry. Ultimately, it serves as a lighthearted bridge to talk about behavior, consequences, and the relief of being forgiven.
