Originally published in 1970, the illustrations in this book are old-fashioned. This may appeal to some readers, but be a turnoff to others. After getting up on the wrong side of the bed, Johnny starts his day in a grumpy mood. He behaves poorly and is reprimanded by his mother. Other unpleasant and unfortunate events follow until Johnny finds a coin. He contemplates buying himself some candy, but elects to purchase some flowers for his mom instead. This repairs their relationship and presumably turns the day around. This book did not resonate well with me, but I imagine others will have different perspectives.
