Toddler-PreS—This open-ended story allows children to control Danny's day as each page asks questions of readers. Starting with "What will Danny wear today? Will he choose spotty, stripey, or plain clothes?" and flowing through his school day and into the evening, readers have plenty of decisions to make. "Will Danny skate, row, or watch a movie for his special treat after school?" Each spread has one or two questions to ponder. The busy and detailed illustrations give little ones lots of options to choose from as they narrate Danny's day. This is easy to read again and again, as each telling will be completely different.
VERDICT Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to navigate the art of decision-making.
