Good Days Bad Days

Good Days Bad Days

Product Description Depicts many kinds of days in a family, such as school days, sick days, snowy days, dull days, and fun days. From School Library Journal PreSchool-K-- Every day brings a promise of something new and different--home days or away days, sunny days or snowy days. Children will take genuine delight in these childlike, primitive illustrations that show blowy days (just right for a pinwheel); quick days (for running down a hill with a kite in tow), and more. Even on the inevitable sick days or slow days, there are happy moments to be shared and remembered. Every days a different day, but the best day follows yesterday. Today! The detailed scenes are full of action and emotion that unfailingly complement and extend the books primary forte--the concept of opposites. Wide, white spacing, which surrounds the illustrations, gives a clean, fresh appearance, inviting small hands to turn pages and curious eyes to search the pictures. The two-word text is centered at the bottom of each page and printed in large, lower-case letters. Ethnic representation adds to the universal appeal. One of the good days will be when children thumb through and savor this engaging conceptual language book. --Mary Lou Budd, Milford South Elementary School, OH Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews A wholesome look at a nuclear family of five in a wide range of activities grouped as opposites: work, play; happy, sad; dull, fun; etc. The cheerful, not-too-obtrusive message is that sun does follow rain, both literally and metaphorically, and that each has its appropriate role. The affable, nicely detailed illustrations present the activities with humor and verve. Good for discussion with a lapsitter or a group. (Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright 1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.
