"With short, snappy sentences and lots of small black-and-white cartoons, the book features young grade-schoolers realistic talks about feeling mad, jealous, and happy with classmates and family ( How to make a bad day worse ).Grace is also concerned about pollution and what kids can do about it, and Harper offers specific suggestions, from recycling and decorating plastic water bottles to saving endangered red pandas, switching off the lights at home, and holding a yard sale. Instead of boring arithmatic, Grace wants exciting lessons about how to save the planet, and readers will want them too after finishing this enjoyable read."—"Booklist"
"Girls who are settling into chapter book series featuring Clementine and Judy Moody will love the fast pace and familiar school and family situations. Grace s amusing lists and headlines such as "How to Make a Bad Day Worse" and "What I Did That Was Unusual" will keep readers entertained, and Harper s sketches add interest and break up the text, leaving the new reader time to pause and smile."—"Horn Book"
"This is an appealing book for early chapter-book readers. Fans of the series are sure to enjoy it, but it can stand on its own."—"School Library Journal"
"A fun read for kids and adults."—"BookPage""
