Someday Is Not a Day of the Week

I chose the children's book Someday Is Not a Day of the Week. It is written by Denise Brennan-Nelson and Illustrated by Kevin o'Malley. An appropriate grade level for this book would be 1st grade if read by the teacher.

The story goes that this little boy(depicted as a beaver)goes around asking his mom to go to the fair and when he can spend time with his dad. He also asks his grandpa to go fishing. All of the adults answer him with the one word "Someday". The little beaver is confused and looks at his calendar and remembers the song he learned in preschool. He frantically looks for someday, but can't find it anywhere.The beaver tells his mom that someday is not a day of the week.After his mom realized what she had told her son, he got to do all the things he asked for. The book ends with a picture of the boy and his grandpa fishing.

Very bright colors are used and the words of the week are always listed in bright red. On almost every page there is a calendar in the background or in some other spot that is very recognizable. This book is a great tool in teaching the days of the week as well as making children realize to not give up on people. They will have time for you.
