A Good Day by Kevin Henkes

In this book there are four animals (point to them on the cover)–a yellow bird, a white dog, an orange fox, and a brown squirrel. For each animal something sad happens, but then something good does, too! Let’s see what happens. Read the book. Sometimes something happens to us that makes us sad, but then we find a way to be happier. I am going to give each person a piece of paper and there are some crayons to share. I would like you to draw a picture of a time you were sad and a time you could make yourself happy. Then tell me or the adult who brought you about your picture. 
Adults, having your child describe their experiences and feelings aloud helps to develop their narrative skills which will later help them understand what they read.
