4 Stars: We Enjoyed It
Through simple words and hundreds of warm and contemporary illustrations, Picture My Day
explores the key moments that occur in a single day for three young
children. From daybreak to bedtime, readers will follow these two
sisters and their brother as they eat breakfast, get dressed, play
games, go to the park, explore nature, take a bath, and more. Throughout
the book, objects like the clothes pinned to the laundry line, the
musical instruments in the playroom, and the vegetables spilling from a
grocery bag are clearly labeled, inviting young readers to learn new
words and to categorize objects. Plus, readers are introduced to simple
concepts like flavors, colors, and seasons, too. More than just an
illustrated dictionary, Picture My Day is a kind of scrapbook of what
life is like for young children, from first words to first situations.
And, with lots of little shared moments between affectionate family
members on display, children and parents alike will delight in poring
over the pages of this picture book. - quoted from Owlkids
