DESCRIPTION
One bright, sunny morning, the pond’s creatures prepare to perform a symphony. The birds begin with their calls; the frogs join in with their croaks; the fox barks, and the bees buzz. At last the clouds arrive with their thunderous percussion…
Acclaimed author-illustrator Jennifer Yerkes presents the sights and sounds of an ecosystem in motion. Told with bold, vibrant art and playful onomatopoeia, A Perfect Day is a spectacular reminder to stop and listen to nature.
REVIEWS
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A day that ‘begins in peaceful harmony’ erupts into a summer storm that is likened to a symphony. . . . Exquisite.”
School Library Journal
“Subtle, graphically sophisticated in its focus, like Yerkes’s other titles, this book asks readers to pause thoughtfully, look closely, and take in the music.”
