This book, at first glance, is no different from any other toddler/preschool book about the daily routine of a family.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
When you read it, though, the little differences in daily routine between mom, dad, granpa, daughter and baby, are described in a way that is witty and wacky. They will vary between tickling your funny bone to laugh out loud humor. This tounge in cheek humor at the different perspectives of normal daily routines done by grandma , dad or baby, is very insightful, and the kids loved it.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
As the family gets dressed, we observe the differences in underwear, from baby's diapers, to grampa's long Johns. We see how the family members differ in going to work or school for the day, eating dinner, etc. The wonderful illustrations support the tongue in cheek wit. Toddlers and preschoolers may be old enough to find it amusing, or they may be young enough still to appreciate the fact that this book doesnt ignore the little details of reality that are fascinating to kids: like the fact that dad stands up at the toilet, while baby still wets his diapers. I don't know who enjoyed reading this book more, me or the kids!
