Yes Day!

Yes Day! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld 2009

Every child's dream would be to get their way all the time. But what if there was one day in the year where every answer to a child's question was "Yes"? The young boy in Rosenthal's story explains his favorite day of the year. He wants us to follow and observe how each of his wishes is granted. From a food fight, to staying up way past bedtime, the humorous cartoons reveal the joy experienced on this most unusual of days.

The blue end-papers reveal even more to giggle about. There is a monthly calendar including days like; Not On Your Life Day, Go Ask You Mother Day, or Two Thumbs Down Day. It's obvious what the most popular day is by the bright yellow box in the corner declaring YES DAY!. Beware of your child asking for a day just like this.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
