Perfect Day, A

Smith, L.
In Bert’s backyard, Cat, Dog, Chickadee, and Squirrel are all having the perfect day, until Bear arrives. He rolls in the daffodils Cat was resting in, drinks the pool water Dog was wading in, and eats all the food Chickadee and Squirrel had been enjoying and ruins their day while Bear’s perfect day has just begun! Told from the perspective of the various animals, it develops the idea that perfect is in the eye of the beholder. The colourful, appealing illustrations connect to the story and convey the characters’ moods, and will delight students. Suitable for read-aloud and to prompt discussion, journal writing, debate, and critical thinking for K-4 classes.
