Overview / 简介: |
Some (young) people spend their days at day care. Some (slightly older) people spend their days at work. And despite the difference in their ages, what they do can be surprisingly similar. Whether you are a kid or a grown-up, you may build, or read, or paint, or plant seeds, or attend a meeting. How you spend your day matters. And it's nice to know that the people you love may be doing a lot of the same things you are doing! Sharing this book with a child is almost as good as spending the day together.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Ballard (Tonight and Tomorrow) effectively and inventively draws parallels between the routines of parent and child in this upbeat picture book. "My day is at day care. Your day is at work," begins a preschooler narrator on the opening page. "Bye-bye. See you later." What follows are 10 pairs of corresponding--but not identical--activities of various children at day care and their parents at their jobs. To add some texture to the straightforward premise, Ballard shows the children in single-page, full-bleed scenes on the left, and depicts the adult counterpart (with a nearly identical likeness to the child) in three-panel scenes, comic book-style. While life at day care is reassuringly familiar (building blocks, circle time, lunch), Ballard finds some ingenious vocational pairings: for "circle time," an executive mommy readies for a meeting, greets the participants and then holds forth at a round table. A happy calm pervades both the succinct text and warmly hued watercolor and ink drawings, and parents and children reunite in a final scene. Ages 4-up. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| My 21 month old daughter is in daycare most weekdays, and she immediately identified with all of the pictures in this book. She wants to read it over and over, repeated the lines after me. (When I read, "building with blocks" she says "MY building with blocks!" and so on for every phrase describing a picture in this book!) The pictures are friendly and colors are vivid yet cozy.
I would give this book 5 stars if it came in a board book edition!!! My daughter wants to read it herself and turning pages gently is not her forte. Oh well. |
