Oh, What A Busy Day! by Gyo Fujikawa

5.0

I found this book at the Goodwill and bought it for the beautiful pictures. I read it last night and was completely blown away. A listing of "jingles" includes the classics "Marguerite, go wash your feet, the Board of Health's across the street" and "Christopher Columbus, what do you think of that? A big fat lady sat on my hat!" There's a sad story of two children who wandered into the woods, got lost, laid down, and died. There's the enticing, "Turn the page to see a dream come true for some animal lovers..." (there was a dream come true on the next page!) And the advice that it's okay to do mean or mischievous things, as long as you apologize after. AMAZING.
