Another Day

by Marie Hall Ets

Much like Ets's In The Forest, Another Day tells a fanciful tale of a little boy who goes into the woods for a visit with animals. Each performs a feat. But the boy does something they can't-- laugh. And he wakes from his dream laughing. The author's wood block pictures add a nice touch to a special story.

This is the story of a young boy using his imagination to have a "confab" with a group of animals. Each one of them shares a talent, but the boy is the only one who can laugh and he wakes up from his dream laughing. This is a nice story about the joys of imagination with beautiful illustrations.

This goes along with her Caldecott honor book entitled In the Forest. I like this one even better.
