One Monday

Summary: Wild, Windy Weather.....
Review: "One Monday on Annabelle's farm, it was so windy, the tin roof banged like thunder. By afternoon the pigs' curly tails were straightened out like rulers..." So begins Amy Huntington's delightful and very descriptive picture book, One Monday. As the week progresses, so do the wind gusts. Carrots and turnips twist out of the garden, sunflower heads spin off like flying saucers, frogs surf on the waves in the water trough, and the big black spots blow off the cows. Finally on Sunday, the wind blows itself right out of town, and everything appears to be quiet and back to normal, until you turn the page. "The next day, Monday, it rained so hard..." Ms Huntington's simple and understated text is full of energy and motion. But she lets her bold, bright and expressive artwork really tell the story, and little ones will enjoy poring over the illustrations and finding all the charming, humorous, and silly details in each two page spread. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, One Monday is an engaging and entertaining treasure that shouldn't be missed.

Review: I bought this book for friends with new babies, and they all loved it. The illustrations are incredible, and the storyline is engaging. Kids love the pictures and finding all the animals. I would recommend this book for both children and parents alike. It is an enjoyable read.
