All in a Day by Chihiro Takeuchi - ESSENTIAL

All in a Day
by Chihiro Takeuchi
. PICTURE BOOK Berbay Publishing. 2023. $19. 9781922610546 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Starting at 7 a.m. and ending a 6 a.m. the next day, we follow the comings and goings of all the people who live and work in one building. Each spread at a different time of day. There is a clock featured with each spread and a description highlighting some of the people's activities. Each spread also includes questions for the reader asking them to find or notice certain things on each page. 

I love the bright, detailed, and colorful collage-style/cut paper artwork. I love the clock on each page that will help teach time-telling skills. I love how each page highlights a different time of day. I love the interactive element that encourages the children to look closely at the illustrations so that they can discover what is taking place.
