This book was so cute. By the cover you think the book is going to be very scary and when you open the cover of the book, the opening page is a warning page about how you shouldn't turn the page about all the terrible things in the upcoming pages. When I looked at the cover I thought it was going to be about scary, terrible things but in actuality, it is about things that just make you angry or upset. In this book the illustrations tell the story and the word or words are just captions or feelings. The first page is a picture of ice cream that has fallen and the word on the page is "ooopsie!" So it's very humorous but very true feelings. The illustrations are done from the angle of the eyes of the person so you see what they are seeing. It's very creative and I think it's what makes it humorous and really feel the disappointment. The first illustration you see both of the persons hands, his two tennis shoes and the ice cream on the ground with the cone in one of his hands and then his shadow is in the background. The one I can really relate to is the dentist picture and the caption is "Say AHHHH..." I don't really like going to the dentist so it's really relatable. I think it would be a good book to use with young students in your classroom to share their fears or "terrible" things. I think it would be an easy thing to create into a classroom book. Some of the things are seen as funny to some but others they can totally relate and there is no wrong answer. It would be a good writing and reading activity.
