Reach for this book when your child is facing a string of 'bad luck' or needs a playful lesson in perspective. It is the perfect antidote to a day where things went wrong, offering a hilarious look at how our attitude shapes our reality. Poor Doreen is a glass-half-full fish who is utterly oblivious to the fact that she is being caught, sold, and nearly cooked. While the reader sees the 'danger,' Doreen sees an exciting, all-expenses-paid adventure. It is a brilliant way to introduce the concept of optimism and reframing life's unexpected detours. This absurdist comedy is ideal for children aged 4 to 8, providing a safe way to laugh at 'peril' while celebrating a character who refuses to let a bad day get her down. Parents will appreciate the clever dramatic irony that keeps both adults and kids giggling until the very last page.
