"The hardest part of going to work is being apart from you.
Let's count the days till we're both at home with a special thing to do."

A loving rhyme from working parents to their children. Illustrations show many families and households during the work week as well as the wonderful weekend, when all the families pictured throughout (including a brown-skinned family, a family with two dads, and a single-parent family) all enjoy Sunday at the park.

This is a counting book that counts the days of the week Monday through Sunday. The book also is very diverse by having many different family members represented in the book. It has many colors that can be incorporated in the book. I love at the end of the book how all of the family members come together on Saturday and Sunday to represent unison. ( )

I borrowed this book because I recognized the style of [b:This Is the Firefighter|4644415|This Is the Firefighter|Laura Godwin|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1360572660s/4644415.jpg|4694596], a book that we liked a lot. Now, while I appreciate the efforts the author makes to picture diversity, this book is just not half as good as the before mentioned book. But, although the pictures are maybe not stunning, I really like the use of the basic colors and the clean style. The prose on the other hand is a little forced. ( )
