review 1: Timmy the Bear is getting ready for bedtime, and in order to prolong the inevitable, as all children do, he has invented a game about retelling the day, but it goes in backwards order.This picture book will delight young readers, I would suggest preschool - 1st grade. The illustrations were beautiful. Great bedtime story.Teachers of early grades - this would be a fun writing activity.... can a student retell the day backwards, or retell an event backwards....
review 2: A sweet bedtime story with lovely, softly colored illustrations. I remember when Ellen was little, we would read bedtime stories and then talk about her day, although we never did it backwards. This might inspire a tradition in some families. Timmy Bear is getting ready for bed and he tells
... morehis mother, "Let's play Tell Me the Day Backwards." His mother encourages him to start, and he begins by telling of brushing his teeth in the stream. Then Mama Bear responds, "That was after we watched the sunset from the top of the hill." And so it goes. One memory leads to another and we can see it has been a day full of love and learning for Timmy Bear. A super book to read at bedtime. less

A sweet way to relive the day at bedtime and promote narrative skills in reverse.
