Kevin's In a Mood Summary

Kevin's In a Mood by Sarah Bowie

Suzy and Kevin are best friends. They do everything together! Until one day, Kevin's in a Mood. Suzy tries everything to cheer him up - she tells him jokes and even plays his favourite song. But Kevin's STILL in a Mood. All their friends try to help, by offering things Kevin likes, but he just turns his back, washes himself or puts his nose in the air! Nothing seems to make Kevin feel better ... what could be wrong?

But then their friend Stevie arrives with a special delivery! The mood instantly vanishes when Kevin receives an invitation to Stevie's party! Suzy had got hers the day before and Kevin thought he wasn't invited. Suzy is astonished - she was always going to bring Kevin with her to the party! Because they're BFFs!

A lovely story from an acclaimed cartoonist that will encourage the youngest readers to explore the interplay between text and artwork, with fun-filled antics and diverse representation throughout.

Kevin's In a Mood Reviews

For exasperated cat-owners everywhere. Bowie perfectly captures the endless cycle of affection withholding that cats carry on with, while the young humans in their life try everything to win back their love ... Bowie's comic-making background is clearly visible through the pacy action sequencing and eventual resolution

-- Children's Books Ireland in the Irish Examiner

great new picturebook ... all about friendship and feeling left out. The illustrations are strong and stylish and it will charm any young reader of 4+

-- Sarah Webb

Children's Book of the Week - playful book from the acclaimed cartoonist

-- Sunday Times Ireland

A fractious feline tale reminding young readers of the importance of inclusion and the dangers of taking even the closest of friendships for granted

-- The Echo

Kevin's in a Mood is The Banshees of Inisheerin for 5 year olds

-- Olivia Hope

Bowie's comic-book style artwork works beautifully in this picturebook about friendship and feeling left out

-- Irish Independent

very funny ... full of empathy, understanding and some great lessons for little folk ... What a great story to help even the youngest understand our own and others feelings! Quirky, fun illustrations; friendship, compassion, tolerance, patience and love win the day in Kevins' In a Mood

-- Fallen Star Stories

Bowie's distinct graphic style gives a comic-book feel to the story ... Kevin ... is wonderfully rendered in all his tempestuousness ... lots to teach the young human reader about inclusion and feelings

-- Irish Times
