Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-19 00:00:00 Bobby Lopez The artwork in this poem is beautiful. I love how the sky and the sea seem to roil and roll. This is more a poem than a story. It is little scenes of a family and things they do together and each thing they are doing seems to be all the world. It appears this family is on vacation together, possibly. It looks cozy. The nephew just had a vacation to the beach and this story reminded him of some of those times. He went with 2 other families and they had a whole lot of fun together. He enjoyed that time together and this brought back those memories. He gave this 4 stars. The niece was also there. It didn't really remind her of the beach, but she liked the feeling of the family spending the day together. Everyone is together and having fun and they are happy. She liked that feeling and she gave this story 4 stars too. We have about 4 or so Caldecott books left.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-06-26 00:00:00 Mark Buckham The illustrations are beautiful, big and beautiful. The rhyme that makes up the story is excellent and the story expresses lovely sentiments about the world and about loved ones. The story of a (not perfect but wonderful) day with family, and maybe friends too, is told fully but with very few words. Made me a bit melancholy: those extended families look like fun! But, overall, it's a very uplifting book. I could recommend this for children ages 2-8; it has wide appeal. Gorgeous and gift worthy.
