Editorial Reviews

Review

This particular lovely book extends the uplifting sentiment of Psalm 118: 24 by following a pair of siblings through their day, plus framing the tale with the Scripture itself: 'This may be the day the Lord made; let us rejoice and be pleased in it. ' A little brown-skinned girl and her brother (the child narrates) look outside onto a backyard alive with butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, plus bees. The rhyming text moves the particular reader using the children from inside in order to outside, with the particular trees and houses leaning toward 1 another in a reassuring way. Next will be a trip in order to the zoo along with their parents, followed by a visit to some farmerand rsquo; s market, the bountiful dinner of vegetables and fruit, prayer, the book, and mattress. The centerpiece of the book, in which the children, visiting the particular zoo, gaze through glass at animals--predator and prey--standing following to each other, will remind many grownup readers of the Eden-like Peaceable Kingdom paintings by American artist Edward Hicks. This particular is indeed an Edenic appreciation on the planet. --Connie Fletcher ( Booklist Publication! )
