Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-12 00:00:00 Kevin Stark I don't understand why these siblings do everything together, but when it's time to play with Mom's makeup only the girl is shown, and when it's time to play football outside, only the boy is shown. THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE, GENDER-BIASED WRITING AND WE HAVE TO MOVE BEYOND THAT. It is not ok with me to teach our youngest, most impressionable minds that the shape of their bodies has any impact on their interests, passions, and choices. The rest of the book is a bouncy rhyming story with cute pictures that could work for a lot of themes - days of the week, colors, playing, bathtime, tea parties, siblings - but I almost certainly would never choose to use it. It isn't just the problematic gender roles; the kids also wrap up their week by going to church on Sunday, and that isn't storytime-friendly.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-06 00:00:00 Alejandro Vanilla This book is about a brother and sister who Monday through Saturday get dirty by either the food they eat or what they play in. When it comes time for bath the colors make their way into the bathtub which they announce as that color tea. This happens all except for Sunday in which they stay clean so their bath water does not change. At the end they say to wait until Monday. For this book a teacher could read it aloud to the student and then have the students imagine what colors could come next. They would pick a color that the bath water could change into. They would have a write a story for color that they chose and what happened to get the children this way. I would do this in the younger elementary grades.
