review 1: A little girl wants to be all of these other things for just one day. She pretends to be different animals, other people, and doing different jobs. She wonders what it would be like to be somebody else, but only for one day, because she still wants to be herself at the end of the day.I would recommend this book for third graders because it teaches you that it is okay to dream, but that you should always want to be yourself.This book could be implemented when learning about predicting and rhyming beause there is a pattern that they could follow and guess the rhyming words.Leuck, Laura, and Marc Boutavant. For just one day. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2009. Print.
review 2: Lots of great details in the illustrations; a good rhyme that scans & each 3rd line bu... moreilds on the concept well ("For just one day I'd like to shake / my tail and be a rattlesnake / oh what a slithering sound is make / if I could be a rattlesnake"). I also like the context for each animal...the rain-filled gutters for the crocodile, the spiky, tangled hair for the porcupine. Mirror in the back ("that is me!") less
