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
