MY BUSY DAY
by Jill Davis & illustrated by Jill Kastner
From dawn to dusk, a young child describes her eventful day. Davis skillfully captures the topsy-turvy world of a preschooler living and coping with a house full of children, working parents, and daycare. From finding her favorite purple underwear to her morning ritual of kissing the kitty goodbye, sprightly rhymes take readers on a merry tour of the child’s day, encompassing routines that are easily familiar: circle-time, nap-time, song-filled rides home in the car, and tub time. The day ends on a blissful note, with the family reunited for a bedtime story and snuggly tuck-ins. Kastner’s vivid illustrations burst off the pages in bright hues that mirror the effervescent tone, creating compelling images that draw the reader in. This warm, happy tale is just right to start or end a little one’s day. (Picture book. 3-6)
