For Everyone

We discovered this book when my oldest daughter was 4-years-old at our library. It was one of the few books she asked to hear more than once. She also was inspired to where her hair in the 'fountain' style described in the book. Recently, while listening to a tape of Patricia MacLachlan's stories we came across the story again. We all laughed out loud at the tale and ended up listening to it over and over again. We now have a list of friends we MUST buy it for. Four to six-year-olds are probably the best audience but I have given it to adult friends when they are having a sick day and need a grin to help get better.

A simple story of a young girl who has a sick day

Jane Duer illustrates Patricia MacLachlan's The Sick Day, a simple story of a young girl who has a sick day - her stomach aches and her throat feels sore. Good reading skills will lend to this easy story of a girl who involves her father in her day off, turning a sick day into something special after all.
