Love this little board book. Beautiful illustrations that show tons of racial diversity, especially considering it was published in the 70s. Could be a cool, simply writing activity for kiddos. What’s your favourite thing? Take a page and expand it as a class. Have kiddos write their own.

Pretty much always love picture books illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa, and this is no exception. These books bring back wonderful memories of when Erin was little.

I like the colorful illustrations and love that the pub date is 1979 and there are different races of children in the book!
