Karen started her day off really bad and it just got worse from there. She learns from there that things can get better if you look at things differently and keep a positive attitude. Another cute story!
I liked this book well enough as a kid that I wrote at least two knockoffs of it, but I think having a high standard for the reread led me to nothing but disappointment. Sure, over a dozen bad things happen to her, and she's six, but most of them are like a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. Left your new pants at the wrong house, eh? The dog and cat don't want to hang out? And the checkers thing reminded me of those pictures of toddlers having nuclear meltdowns because their parents wouldn't let them eat...
Ok, that was super cute. I loved how sweet Sam and Charlie were to Karen.
I think I've just realized that the BSLS adaptations aren't doing it for me the way the BSC ones are. Karen is so bratty it's not appealing to read at all. I don't even know if I want to encourage my kids to read these because of her behavior. I haven't read the source material in so long I couldn't say whether this is from the source or not. But in a time when I would like to think we have evolved to not wanting to teach our kids to talk to their siblings and friends with such disdain, I don't
I have bad days like karen!
This book is not bad, but it's not as good as the first book in this series. The main character (Karen) comes off as somewhat of a brat in this one. The whole thing felt a bit too cheesy for my liking.
I read these with my 6 and 4 year old and although we love the series, I think this one was a bit of downer. So many bad things happened to Karen, it went on forever.
This book isn't as entertaining as the previous books in the series, because this time, Karen acts like a bratty and whiny.
I read these as a kid and LOVED Karen. As a little sister to a strong-willed and smart older sister like Kristy, I found Karen so relatable. The graphic novel version was so fun to read and M I still found the story delightful.
Text-to-Self ConnectionKaren is having a very bad day! She believes this day cannot get any worse. I feel her pain, I have had plenty of days that I think will never end or never get better. Karen does not have a good attitude in this book and I feel that if she would have changed her view on everything bad that kept happening it will help her remain calm and accept this might not be her best day. I can relate but on bad days I just stop what I'm doing and reflect on my attitude and remain calm....
Good
Another fun retelling of one of my childhood favorites! I hope they do the whole series like this!!
Karen has had a bad day. Andrew gets the toy in the surprise box but wants to share but Karen takes her bad day out on everyone.
We all have bad days but Karen sounded over the top. Maybe it’s the GN format? I know it’s possible to nail those awful-bad-day feelings in a book. (The Ramona books do it quite well)
Another cute retelling done by Farina. There's not much plot to it, but it warms my heart rereading them as an adult.
Oh boy. A whole book of Karen being bratty and whiny as she catalogues her gripes about the day. I was too worn down by the pessimism to care when things started to turn around for her.
This book was okay. I think the other set of graphic novels about the babysitter club is better. I know Karen is six, but she was just very unlikeable in this book. I do love the illustrations though!
Karen is Karen.

Can Katy Farina just adapt every Little Sister book into graphic novels? They're so good, I'm even willing to overlook the glaring error she made when she mislabeled the Little House pets. Rocky is supposed to be the cat, and Midgie is supposed to be the dog. DUH. </s>
