Consider Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Reading this picture book plays like a brisk, read‑aloud vent: short, punchy sentences catalogue Alexander’s escalating mishaps with an almost musical repetition. Its useful part is emotional validation—young children hear a character whose small injustices register as big feelings, and adults get an easy story to defuse a bad mood. Limitation: the repetition and simple resolution leave little room for problem‑solving or nuance, so older kids or adults seeking depth may find it thin and unsurprising.”
