PreS-K–Educators eager to share and explore different cultures with young children will find this title an engaging and informative choice. The story follows a child in England spending a day with their grandparents, blending familiar moments with uniquely British experiences that spark curiosity. From playground fun to a game of cricket, there’s plenty to capture children’s attention: “We’re here! Giggles in the playground./ Now we play some cricket. Howzat! I took a wicket!” The book’s final pages provide additional context, offering explanations of cultural details like, “Pick-and-mix are tasty sweets that are fun to choose for yourself!” Perfect for little ones curious about life in England or fans of British TV shows, this title offers a delightful glimpse into another world.
VERDICT A strong addition to most library collections.
