Yes Day! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal


Yes Day!Here is a new book that readers would love and feel connected to! The beginning is so catchy and intriguing that you got to keep on reading....

"Today is my favorite day of the year! Just watch, you'll see what I mean..."

Of course at that point, the engaging reader would be guessing the reason why this is the child's favorite day of the year. Any guesses? Well, I love the fact that the book doesn't go and explicit say why this is a "Yes Day" but the pictures reveal the reason (if you paid attention!). If you were given an "Yes Day" what would you ask for? any thoughts? Well, this child asks all the small and big things that make a day a bit brighter like having pizza for breakfast, getting to choose his favorite sugar cereal, getting piggyback rides, and eating lunch outside...

Yes Day by Amy Krouse Rosenthal is a great reminder of the little things that make a child happy on that special one day of the year.
