Description
Follow one little boy through his day as he playfully considers how mealtime, bath time, nap time, and many other activities would be different if he were a bird, a tiger, or any number of baby animals. At the end of the day he realizes that the best thing of all is to be himself!
Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
The Selection Committee chose this title because it helps a child get through all the important and repetitive tasks they have to do each day. While they may be reluctant to put on their shoes or take a nap, the book offers examples of animals who have it much worse than the average 3-year-old. The committee loves the playful approach to toddler reluctance.
1 Reader Review:
This book is WONDERFUL! I found it in the library for my 2 year old son about a year ago. We now end up checking it out about every other month and he never gets tired of it. The pictures are good to ask questions about and have lots of things to point at and talk about. He can actually "read" most of this book with me at this point.
