The pictures in this book add so much to the story. there are minimal words in the story only explaining what a perfect day is to each animal. Then the send half of the book is only it WAS a perfect day... The pictures tell the story of why it WAS a perfect day for each animal. The pictures show how bear comes along and takes the corn, the birdseed, rolls in the wildflowers, and bathes in the cool bath. It shows how bear ruined everyones day.
pickThis book written by Lane Smith talks about different animals perfect day. Dog loves the cool water, cat loves the wildflowers, chickadee loves bird seed, squirrel loves the corn on the ground. It was a perfect day for them. It WAS a perfect day for them until bear comes along.
pickLane Smith writes a beautiful short story that is accompanied by spectacular, eye-catching illustrations. A connection to her own personal life, this story has a very cute ending.
What makes a perfect day for each of the animals in the neighborhood?
pickSoft, colorful illustrations and wryly funny text. Definitely a Caldecott contender.
pickI love Smith's style of illustrations for this fun story. When bear has a good day no one else does.
May we have good days, but hopefully not at the expense of others!
