Overview / 简介: |
It's Saturday at last—no school, no homework, no lessons.
The day belongs to June. She can search for wild animals, learn how to fly, or maybe even discover long-lost treasure. But before she is free to enjoy her day, June must face one big problem: her list of chores! Luckily, the only thing bigger than June's list of chores is her imagination, and she finds that with a little ingenuity even humdrum activities like eating her breakfast, sweeping the leaves, and cleaning her room can become an adventure.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 2—Imagination runs rampant in this story that describes a child's Saturday morning. Faced with a list of chores to complete before she can play, June proceeds to lighten her tasks by imagining a huge bird teaching her to fly to the mailbox, a genial wind blowing her and the leaves across the steps of her house and into a field, and monsters cleaning under her bed. When she and her dog finish their work, they face the front door ready to begin the day. Colorful, humorous cartoon illustrations with plenty to look at fill the pages, contrasting reality with June's fantasies in a style a little reminiscent of William Joyce's. Although not an essential purchase, the book should find many small adherents.—Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| June is having a typical Saturday morning, with a list of chores she needs to complete before she can do fun stuff like playing, etc...but her imagination is way ahead of her and she imagines bizarre lumps in her oatmeal, thinks up a creative way to get to her far-off mailbox [to pick up mail], and monsters under her bed [which she needs to clean]. The illustrations are in gorgeous full-color,and quirky. My preschooler was absolutely absorbed in the illustrations and I enjoyed the way chores are viewed in an imaginative manner. An enjoyable picture book and a great read aloud.
