This Caldecott Honor picture book has been reissued as a Little Simon Classic Board Book, which means a whole new generation of toddlers will be able to enjoy the positive images found in this thick volume.

The rhymed text combined with excellent illustrations showcase the activities families engage in. They range from a day at the beach, working in the garden, and enjoying lake activities to weathering a stormy afternoon and settling in for an evening of companionship at home.

Crossing generational boundaries, the book underscores the central idea that "All the world is all of us." That's an excellent message and one that can't be repeated enough given some of the exclusionary sentiments floating about in American society today.

You'll enjoy sharing this book with your child and want to look at the pictures as well as read it over and over again
