All the expected stops are theregetting dressed, having breakfast, going to school, etc.but so are valuable topics like Things We Do and Feel (helping, sharing, being shy, laughing) and the sports-themed On the Move! The illustrations do an excellent job of integrating diversity, and the children depicted are a universally cheery lot. Adults can turn this book into a more interactive learning experience by referring to the Tips and Ideas and activities pages.
