The 6 year old said this was boring. I thought it was sweet. Maybe he's a little too old now?

Lovely "seize the day" poem by Cynthia Rylant, with paper-cut illustrations which, while I admire the great skill it takes to create them, aren't my favorite.

Gorgeous cut paper illustrations. Should have been Caldecott nominated.

I loved Nikki McClure's art in this book, her use of simple lines to create great images enriches the plot of the book all the more.

All in a Day follows a boy through the activities of his day with positive phrases about the possibilty of a day. The theme is to make the most of today and not worry about the past or the future. The illustrations are beautiful. They really portray the action of a day in a child's life balanced with the message of slowing down and enjoying the here and now. I think this would be a good book to present to someone (child or adult) who tend to worry or have stress.

Add an extra half a star for the illustration of the chicken lying on its back and looking at the sky, seen from the feet.

An inspiring message, but a little bit forgettable.

I loved the simplicity of this book along with its wonderful life lessons. Exactly what I want to instill in my children one day.
