Customer Reviews

Daughter's favorite 20 years ago!

I got this for my daughter on her 21st birthday because it was her favorite before she could read or talk. She loved the baby illustrations. We went through this book so many times she used to say "no, no, no" in anticipation before we turned the page where the baby spills the contents of Momma's purse. Glad to see this is still around. Share this with your 1, 2, 3 or 4 year old. Wonderful.

This is the best book ever for small children.

My children have adored this book, which is clever, witty and - unlike many children's books - endlessly readable. I can't believe that it's out of print! What a shame.

Great fun for toddlers and adults!

This charming picture book is loads of fun for both toddlers and their parents. It teaches category concepts (foods, pets, toys, accidents, etc.) by following five very different families through a day any parent of a two year old won't have trouble imagining. The many imbedded sight gags keep the older generation on their toes without detracting from the books' value for the little ones.
