My favorite time of day when I had a toddler at home was at bedtime. With dinner dishes done, jammies on, and teeth brushed it was a time to let go, relax, and turn my full attention to snuggling and reading bedtime stories with my daughter. A good part of that quiet hour was spent talking about the day. Who we saw. What we did. Where we went. Tell Me the Day Backwards by Albert Lamb is the perfect book to share at the end of a busy day. As Timmy Bear climbs into bed he exclaims to mom, "Let's play that game we used to play last summer." As the two of them take turns telling the day backwards, Mama Bear uses encouraging words like, "What happened before that?" and empathetic responses such as, "Yes, that was terrible," to gently guide little bear into an amusing game of storytelling. David McPhail's soft watercolor and sepia ink illustrations of the bear family will charm both you and your children. And the story is sure to inspire you to play the game of telling your day backwards too!~Miss Julie
