This story is about how bad things can happen but they sometimes lead to something positive. It's a nice idea.

My only gripe was how quickly the bad was turned into good - like instant gratification. There wasn't any time inbetween to reflect on the negative experience and understand why it had that impact and ways to deal with those feelings.

It didn't matter that it was the "worst" thing to happen because it was immediately turned into something good, which I just didn't feel like it teaches children how to manage negative experiences and feelings.

Thank you NetGalley and Books Go Social for making this book available to read now.

Talk about finding the silver lining in all the things. Super sweet story about great things from the bad things. I hope the overall message gets through to children. I hope they also realize finding money doesn’t always happen, as grand as that would be.
This story also reminded me of my own best worst/ worst best day. That’s heartwarming.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This is my first B.C Stephan book and I look forward to reading more books. It follows a young girl that is the life of a party who is having a day full of ups and downs. I enjoyed watching her navigate 'bad things happening' that are followed with good things happening. I believe every child will enjoy this page turner. This book is a reminder on how good things can happen even during a storm. Highly recommend

The Best Worst Day Ever by B.C. Stephan 5/5
This was such a great story to read. It allowed me the chance to show my littles that even when something bad happens, we are able to find something just as good. Such a positive view which is perfect for kids. I enjoyed the writing style. The illustrations are adorable and light, and the message is loud and clear. This is a great story, and I would recommend it.

This story was an absolute delight to read from the first page to the last. A tale about little people handling big emotions, the author does a fabulous job making sure young readers understand their feelings are valid and that there are ups and downs in life. The main lesson is all about looking for the silver lining and trying to stay positive even in challenging situations.

This story was entertaining and educational, which can be a tricky balance to maintain in a children’s book, and I will be suggesting it to teachers whenever possible. Mental health is such a critical part of childhood that often gets overlooked. Incorporating social and emotional education into children's picture books is a tried and true way to teach an important life skill in a way that is fun. This would be an amazing addition for classroom libraries, counselling offices and more.

This story was adorably illustrated. The text was simple, making it an easy read for a budding young reader, but the simplicity of the words did not undermine or detract from the power and importance of the message behind them. There are many parts that will make for excellent discussion points, such as what makes us upset, how we handle things when they don't go our way, feeling disappointed or jealous and moving forward after something doesn't go according to plan. This can be used in lessons about coping skills as well as character and life skills.

I absolutely loved this book. So positive. perfect for kids. I loved the writing. It was so cool. The illustrations were not bad. This is a good book for kids of all ages. I like how it teaches us to see the silver lining in life. Thank you for the free issue for a fair review.

A little girl shares her experiences of the best worst day in her life. The story comes in first-person narration with 2-3 lines of text on each page. The essence of the book is to look at the silver lining and realize that there will be something good even in the worst situations.
The writing is straightforward for kids to read and enjoy. I’m sure they’ll relate to most incidents in the book. A lot of it is chance and coincidence, but hey, kiddo books have the right to simplify a few things. Life is hard as it is.
The illustrations have a light touch and are cute. The watercolors are done with a deft yet casual hand. They reminded me of the comics with those goofy expressions. Kids look rather sweet when they smile that way. The words best and worst are highlighted on each page for little ones to easily understand the content.
To summarize, The Best Worst Day Ever is a sweet book about realizing that things can be good even if they seem bad.

This book was a smart way to show kids how to look on the bright side and find the positives in every day. A little girl is thinking through her day and all of the unfortunate things that happened to her. Every time a worst thing ever happens, it is quickly followed by a silver lining in the form of a best thing ever. At the end of the day she declares it the best worst day ever for all the good and bad it included. My kids enjoyed this book!

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I liked that this book focused on showing the good and bad things that happen in life, and the way to handle them is often how your mindset is.

The main character takes the reader through a day where good things and bad things happen.

It's a good book to show positivity to children and I liked the illustrations also.

I love how The Best Worst Day Ever shows a positive side to negative events. This is a great way to teach kids how to be positive! I also loved the illustrations and how colorful they are!

This was a fun book about a little girl turning the worst things into the best things. I think it will help kids find the silver lining. The illustrations were very cute and my kids liked it.

I thought that this was a lovely book and it was on that I enjoyed reading with my daughter

The book was really positive and I loved the view that you can find the positives in everything.

I thought that the book was well written and fun too.

The illustrations were really lovely and worked well with the story

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended

Very clever little book about finding the good in everything. As the girl travels throughout her day, the worst things ever happen, but are immediately followed by the best. Great perspective for little readers!

This was a clever story that teaches children the importance of positive thinking. As adults, it's important to teach the children in our lives to always look for the good, even when they think it's the worst day. Great book!

A young girl shares moments from her best worst day ever and realizes that the things that she thought would be the worst, actually turned out to be the best. I loved the overall message of the power of positive thinking. I also felt that it was important that the girl could recognize and acknowledge when she felt sad or upset when bad things happened. I think this is a wonderful book to help illustrate emotions to young children while helping them turn sour moments into sweet ones. I also enjoyed the cartoon-like illustrations.
