Bad Hair Day
Written & Illustrated by
Bill Greenberg
“WHA-A-A-A-A-T?” Yetta’s colorful-hair beads popped off in every
direction: doing, zing, tink, doink, splat, OUCH – poofing up her hair like
red-orange-green-blue fireworks. Yetta has no chance to be a TV star, and
get a flying bicycle, if she keeps having a bad hair day.
At the end of the book - Yetta’s hair was like fireworks. Many
authors use similes to make the characters more interesting. Try
these crazy comparisons for a challenge! (Similes compare two
ideas in one sentence; usually using the word “like”.)
* How is music like a table?
* How is a panda bear like Saturday morning?
* How is giggling like a basketball?
* How is recess like a clock?
* How is the sun like a classroom?
* How is a smile like the ceiling?
* How is a watermelon like a wish?
* How is a door like pizza?
