Oh, the fun you can have with just four words and some wonderfully expressive faces on a rabbit, a mouse, and (briefly) a bear. Great fun! Reminds me a bit of Remy Charlip's Fortunately.
This book follows two friends as they go throughout their day with a picnic. The book only says "good news" and "bad news" and watches what happens as they encounter something difficult and then discover the positive after the fact. At the end of the story, they both have found the positive throughout their eventful day as they get to spend time together and finally have their picnic. This book is very short and relies mostly on illustrations so it will be great for young children around pre-k
The good news is that this book is brilliant and funny. The bad news isummmlets seenope, cant think of any bad news! This book only uses four different words, but those four words, combined with the terrific artwork, manage to convey an entertaining story about a picnic gone terribly wrong.

This is an entertaining tale that features two characters repeating the same simple dialogue over and over (hint - all the words in the book are in the title) The cartoonish illustrations tell the whole tale and it's a dramatic and humorous story. I had one of our girls tell the "Good News" part of the story, narrating what happens based on the pictures, while our other daughter narrated the "Bad News" side of the tale. We enjoyed reading this book together.
