THREE TWO ONE DAY
by Debbie Driscoll & illustrated by Lynne Woodcock Cravath
A moppet, blond like her mom, is busy with different activities on each day of the week, all succinctly described in verse whose play with sound and sense tickles the ear: ``Bike on Tuesday,/win or lose day./Crash and bruise day,/black-and-blue day./Hike on Tuesday,/muddy shoes day./Squishy ooze day,/explore on Tuesday.'' Days of chores at home with Mom or Dad (``Paint on Saturday,/climb the ladder day...''), attending a playschool (multicultural), and visiting friends (``Hide on Sunday,/three two one day./Ice-cream sundae, week is done day'') round out a happy, energetic seven days, all amusingly depicted in Cravath's cheerful pen-and-watercolor illustrations. An engaging way to rehearse the days of the week. (Picture book. 4-8)
