My Day

A school-age girl chronicles her day from sunrise to sundown. There are morning preparations, then school: reading, writing, violin lessons, lunch and then art class. Back at home, she plays with her friends or by herself, does chores and eats dinner. Then it's television time or reading and studying until bedtime. Bright colors, solid cut-out shapes and featureless faces create vibrant, bold pictures. Children, who love to recite the events of their days, will enjoy this graphically pleasing peek into the lives of their older, school-age siblings; large type makes it especially appropriate for beginning readers at the high end of the targeted age levels. Ages 3-6. (September)
