ONE SUNDAY MORNING

PLB 0-531-33156-3 Any preschooler who has shed a tear upon being awakened from a too-pleasant dream will relish Heo’s companion book to One Afternoon (1994). With his father in hand, Minho experiences the ideal outing, a never-ending list of adventures through the park and zoo. It begins with a ride on the subway, an encounter with joggers, a stop to watch a clown making balloons, people sailing remote- control boats on a lake, and a visit to all the best exhibits at the zoo before a ride on the carousel. Minho is aghast to wake up in his bed and to realize that it was all a beautiful dream. Heo settles on bustling activity as the theme for this book; the day’s energetic flow of events is depicted in exuberant paintings filled with the artist’s signature shapes and forms. Simple sound-effect words, such as the “whooshing” of bicycles and “cha cha chat” of monkeys, are interspersed throughout, and will prompt noisy give-and-take with children as Minho’s day out unfolds.
