Review: HAPPY NATIONAL NOTHING DAY!

1/16/2021

​You read that right. Nothing. How do we celebrate that day? Do we do nothing? Too late, you just read what I wrote. If you care to read further, your can read my review of a story about a boy who tries to ward off boredom by celebrating a different holiday every day. Until he discovers a day with no holiday:
​
​TITLE: NATIONAL REGULAR AVERAGE ORDINARY DAY

AUTHOR: Lisa Katzenberger

ILLUSTRATOR: Barbara Bakos

PUBLISHER: Penguin Workshop/2020

OPENING LINES: 
Peter did not like being bored. It was the complete and total, absolute worst!
Hanging out with his neighbor Devin was usually pretty fun. But lately it seemed like they’d been playing the same games over and over.
Picture
​I love to give a nod to all the obscure and little-known holidays out there, and the child in this story does too. Until one day he discovers there's no holiday to celebrate! What is Peter going to do? He's an imaginative kid, so he tries to make one up. His ideas become more and more outrageous, which young readers will love. Eventually he learns that every day is worth celebrating, which everyone will appreciate. This story is all about fun--fun text, fun illustrations & a fun way to show readers how to celebrate even the most regular, average, ordinary days.
