The Good Decision

Making good decisions is harder than it looks. Just ask Albert.

From the moment Albert wakes up, it’s clear that today is not his day. Every decision he makes turns into yet another bad one. After a day jam-packed with disasters, Albert somehow manages to make one brilliant decision, and no one is more surprised than Albert himself. Nothing can possibly go wrong now … can it?

A riotously funny picture book about the hilarious truth that we don’t always get things right. And some days we never do.
