This book is simply delightful. Well-written, creative, imaginative, educational and a story line that "warms the cockles of the heart". My three year old loves to read and re-read and now asks me, with a glint in her eye, if she is just what I need. Not only is the book fun to read but it has opened up a whole new dimension in creative play and interaction. It is a "must have" book for anyone's book shelf.

Darling book that teaches the days of the week and turns chores into exciting adventures. I read it to my 5 year old niece and she loved it! Imaginative, creative and all around fun to read, very enjoyable book for children as well as the adults who read it to them!

Pleasing to the eyes and ears, this picture book is great for group storytimes as well as for reading to kids at home. The story is inventive and charming, and the parent-child relationship depicted is tender without being sappy. The text rolls easily off the tongue. Plus, the paper-cutout artwork is fantastic. A stand-out!

This book is cheerful and fun and bright--a wonderful book for children and parents alike. The language is full of rhythm and sound, and it's a joy to read aloud. Kids will love reading about Abbie's adventures, and parents will appreciate the message that no matter what, a child will be loved for being themselves. Highly recommended!

Beautiful book for my daughter;unfortunately, the mail carrier broke the hard cover of the book inserting it in the mailbox,which it was too big for. Post office would not do anything about it,but seller refunded money.

A simply delightful book to remind children about how special they are and how much they're loved. This book was highlighted on the PBS show "Between the Lions" in November 2010.

My kids and I loved this book! The text is clever and fun, and I love the way the mother integrates helping chores with her daughter's imaginative play. The illustrations are bright and fun, with plenty of clever twists to make rereading enjoyable. A great read!

I love reading this to my kids! (What parent wouldn't?) But the thing is, my kids love it, too. Definitely a great repeat-reader.
