MY REVIEW
Children know how much fun it is to have Inside-Out Day or Backwards Day. Inside-Out Day lets them wear their clothes and socks inside out. It’s funny and is a great break in school from wearing uniforms. In this book a little kitten named Alycat wakes up to find that it’s Backwards Day, and she didn’t even know about it beforehand.
Her mother served dinner for breakfast. The bus driver picked up the last passengers first and more funny things happened. Alycat and her friend Bugsby thought it was strange, but Alycat just went along with it and had a good attitude.
When Alycat woke up the next day she asked her father about Thursday, but she found out that it was really only Wednesday and she had dreamt about Wednesday being backwards. This is a very fun book and the illustrations are adorable. Many children have a hard time with changes, and this book shows children that it’s better to just go along with unexpected changes instead of complaining.
