GOOD DAYS BAD DAYS
by Catherine Anholt & illustrated by Catherine Anholt
A wholesome look at a nuclear family of five in a wide range of activities grouped as opposites: work, play; happy, sad; dull, fun; etc. The cheerful, not-too-obtrusive message is that sun does follow rain, both literally and metaphorically, and that each has its appropriate role. The affable, nicely detailed illustrations present the activities with humor and verve. Good for discussion with a lapsitter or a group. (Picture book. 3-8)
