Customer Reviews

Thoughts from a teacher...

I am a toddler teacher always looking for great new books to read at circle time - this is it! The story follows a simple format easy enough for 2-3 year olds in day care to understand. The illustrations are vibrant and easy for children to identify with. This is a wonderful book that lets children know that their world is important to us and that the emotions they feel are natural and quite common. This book is requested by my students on a daily basis!

A favorite in our house!

Beautiful illustrations highlight this book! The rich colors and bold designs are warm and fun. We particularly like the twist on traditional gender roles as Mom goes off to work while Dad does day care drop-off and pick-up, and cooks dinner to boot!

Perfect Book for all toddlers and children

This book is a deffinate must for all toddlers. The two babies in my life adore this book. The combination of the colorful and expressive drawings with the soothing yet fun wrtiting is irresistable. Don't leave without buying this book!

Presents a sense of comfort and is gracefully illustrated.

This book is a great way of introducing children to day care. It shows the hectic world that is experienced by millions of working parents and their kids each day in a comforting yet realistic manner. The illustrations are lively - rich, beautiful, opaque colors with swirls, dashes and complex patterns throughout. A treasure for the eyes.

A Must Read for any parent with children in day care

This is an excellent book, beautifully illustrated, which makes both parent and child comfortable with day care. It details a day in the life of a young child from the child's point of view.
