What to Expect: School, parent/child bonding, imagination, and discovery
What did you do at school today? Your mom and dad have no idea—but they’re eager to find out! They’re excited to hear about the things you saw—did you see pirates? Rainbows? Marching ants? They’d love to know what you made – did you make mud ditches? A painting with googly eyes? A make-believe land? And what did you do? Did you learn about shapes, letters, or counting? Did you sing? Play catch? Did you explore the jungle or travel into space to see the Moon? Won’t you tell, pretty please? Whatever you did, we’re sure it was magical!
“What did you do at school today?” is probably the most well-known conversation starter between children and parents—but children can sometimes find the question a bit irksome! In this lovely, playful picture book, this single question blossoms into many, each more outrageous than the next, prompting young readers to agree or disagree with the suggestions and accompanying images, adding details of their own. The lively rhyming text pairs well with brightly colored digital artwork to make for a fun and interactive book. Short enough for even very young attention spans, it’s sure to become a family favorite.
What Did You Do at School Today? is delightful, offering readers a unique opportunity to tell their story for a change. It’s a chance for children to be the storytellers, to share their adventures and discoveries, and to feel important and heard.
