One of my daughter’s perennial favourites, I read this so often I had it memorized, and found it great to tell even without the hilarious pictures. In this story, Kate is facing her first day of school. So miserable is she at the very idea, she gets out on the wrong side of the bed. So of course, everything goes wrong!

Brave Kate fights back, runs home, and saves her own day when she gets up all over again,…

From Kate's list on kids' stories for bedtime, travel-time, and fireside.
