Review

Attention getting bold, cartoon like, large illustrations grab the reader's attention immediately in this children's book. The lettering is very large in type, size and color.

The girl in the story is living an ordinary day and doing regular things but the illustrations and simplicity of several short short stories in this book because of the graphic way they are told is interesting and draws the reader to want to read more.

In one delightful rendering there is a huge purple kitchen with children doing artwork. Mother comes upon the very messy scene.

One day I made something. I gave it to mom The End?

Big hug from mom and all is happy and good.

One day I wanted to be a spy. I was.

The girl in the story is pictured climbing around a house with her cat searching every nook and cranny.

Filled with illustrative texture, an ordinary day blooms into a day full of fun and intrigue.

Overall Book Score: excellent
