Gr 1–3—In the 12th book of the popular series, Judy dares herself to try out a new mood. It's Backwards Day, so she spreads good cheer, smiles at everyone, and is nice to her stinky little brother.
When Judy gets "in a mood" again, she challenges herself be cheerful for a whole week. Whenever things get rough she resorts to finger knitting. By Good Mood Day #7 she has a gigantic ball of yarn and a wonderful surprise for her math class. Always-relatable Judy's efforts to fight off irritation are hilarious; Reynolds captures the high points in his expressive black-and-white illustrations.
