Maybelline Has a Very. Bad. Day.

Poor Maybelline! This playful young goat is having a very bad day on the farm. It starts when her best friend Ellie is too sick to visit, and the day goes downhill from there. Grumpy Aunt Ivy bonks her for stealing hay, a blackberry thorn pricks her lip, she gets her head stuck in the fence, and she tumbles into a muddy puddle, leaving her a soggy mess.

But snuggled safely with her mama that night, Maybelline discovers an important truth: bad days happen, but they don't last forever.

Young children will see themselves in Maybelline's journey of resilience and friendship.

Perfect for ages 3–6.

Parents, teachers, and caregivers can use the conversation questions featured at the end of the book to spark discuss with children, such as what events have ever happened to them to make a day less than stellar, or which is the funniest “bad” thing that happens to Maybelline? To a child, some of the events will feel familiar, and some will just be funny because they happen only to goats!

Children will engage with Maybelline’s problems, and how her mama, cousin, friends and farm dogs work to help Maybelline and keep her safe.
