Items related to My Day, Your Day
Some (young) people spend their days at day care. Some (slightly older) people spend their days at work. And despite the difference in their ages, what they do can be surprisingly similar. Whether you are a kid or a grown-up, you may build, or read, or paint, or plant seeds, or attend a meeting. How you spend your day matters. And it's nice to know that the people you love may be doing a lot of the same things you are doing! Sharing this book with a child is almost as good as spending the day together.

From School Library Journal:
PreS-A group of contented-looking children settles in for a busy day at day care, while their parents rush off to their jobs. The left-hand side of each double-page spread illustrates the different activities going on in the classroom, while the right side contains three smaller illustrations showing a particular dad or mom at work. There is a nice correlation between the actions of the children and those of the adults. As the youngsters build with blocks, a father works at a construction site. When they gather for circle time, a mother runs a meeting around a conference table. Lunchtime is balanced with pictures of a chef preparing a meal, and time in the bathroom is paired with a look at what a plumber does. The last page shows parents and children happily reunited. Done in pen and ink and watercolors, the cartoon artwork is colorful and pleasing. Adults and their offspring are clothed in the same shade, making it easy for readers to match up family members. The familiar routines and terminology will strike a chord with day-care veterans, and the simple text and appealing illustrations may help demystify the experience for novices. This book could also be used as a discussion starter about occupations.
