review 1: This is another book I need to rate twice. It's a gorgeous book in every aspect--the text reads like a song and the illustrations are wonderful works of art. I could frame some of these pages. I will be keeping this for my own personal collection. For those reasons, I give this 5 stars.Thinking about how one would use this in a social studies classroom? It doesn't relate or connect to social studies topics, hence the 1 star review for the Notable Books Committee. But this is one should just be enjoyed. :)
review 2: A rhyming story pairs beautifully with the out of doors. Whether sunny day or rainstorm, every part is rhythm and rhyme! “Singing, swinging outdoor play./White on blue on sunny day.” shows a satisfying scene of the mother hanging out the wash, ba... moreby playing on blanket, and sister jumping rope. We see that they live either on the ocean or on a bay. The scenes change with wind and then rain, stormy weather, and father hurries in with the horses from plowing, pigs shelter under the tin roof. It’s so stormy that sister hides her head under a coverlet! At the end, calm prevails, but the story has shown us a beautiful day from dawn till bedtime, from sun to rain to moonlight. Beth Krommes’ woodcut pages are gorgeous, show so much detail on each double spread. less
