This booktakes us through a day in the life of a city-dwelling child and all the joysencountered. A spring morning brings waffles with berries, umbrellas, redtulips, and school, making all things right in the world. Playing outdoors,watching animals, and playing with friends after school make the daywonderful. Time to settle in for the night with a clean body, a good dinner,and a story before bed. Good night to the world.The pages are filled with city views in full-page spreads, bringing the wordsto life. The language is intriguing, with few lines of text on a page to avoidtaking away from the masterful artwork. The illustrations are clear yet notfully rendered to real life, much more like what a child would create. Forexample, everything is on a floating plane, without a shadow or ground lineto anchor them. The child’s delight in his day is reflected within the picturesall the way to the end of the book, where the night sky is full of clouds, stars,and a crescent moon.
