Description
New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket sheds light on the way bad moods come and go.
Once there was a bad mood and a stick.
The stick appeared when a tree dropped it.
Where did the bad mood come from?
Who picked up the stick?
And where is the bad mood off to now?
You never know what is going to happen.
About the authors
Lemony Snicket a écrit plusieurs livres, dont les romans de la série Les désastreuses aventures des orphelins Beaudelaire, All the Wrong Questions et Le noir, illustré par Jon Klassen. Il est souvent de mauvaise humeur.
Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country which is now under water, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa, which has since become a factory, a fortress and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else's villa. His true birthplace and details about his family remain a mystery.
Matthew Forsythe crée des bandes dessinées, des albums illustrés et des modèles pour l'animation. Sa bande dessinée Ojingogo a été en lice pour le prix Eisner à deux reprises, et il était le graphiste en chef de l'émission télévisée Adventure Time. Aux Éditions Scholastic, il a illustré Je m'appelle Catherine d'Annika Dunklee. Pour faciliter ses recherches, Matthew a été de mauvaise humeur tout le long de la création de ce livre. Il habite à Montréal.

Editorial Reviews
An Amazon "Most Anticipated Children's Books of Fall" Pick (2017)
One of CCBC’S Best Books for Kids & Teens (2018)
"Unexpected turns and delightful surprises, told with smart, silly language and cheeky asides; every page blooms with beautiful artwork. . . . Snicket's fans will love this book." --STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews
"Snicket’s sweetest picture book to date… Snicket can do happily ever after just as well as his signature snarky satire." --STARRED REVIEW, Quill & Quire
"Snicket’s quirky narrative voice and observations of events both great and lowly make this a fine readaloud—and a sure cure for a bad mood." --Publisher's Weekly
"A cheerfully wacky read-aloud sure to brighten listeners’ moods." --School Library Journal
"This light take on a negative feeling may be useful to adults working with children, and the concept of a bad mood being normal and temporary may be a new one to the audience." --The Horn Book
"Lemony Snicket is a special writer. He writes with clarity as well as complexity, and can bounce from silly to serious quickly and easily. Snicket’s wit is never at the expense of adult or child, and somehow accessible to both." --New York Times Book Review
"The visual appeal of The Bad Mood and the Stick immediately makes you want to pick up the book and read… a charming picture book… Recommended." --CM Magazine
