I like that this book shows that working can be fun. The little girl in the book is full of imagination while doing her chores. She has an adventure with each task she needs to complete. The illistrations are really cute, and my kids enjoy reading this book.

I gave my 6 year old niece several books for Christmas and this was one of them. It's one of her favorites and she loves the story and the pictures. I'm told by her mother she has read this book a bunch of times.

Waking up on a Saturday morning, June daydreams in bed about the wonderful adventures that might encompass her day. Then she remembers the list of chores she needs to complete before she can play. June infuses imaginative helpers and scenarios to help make the chores fun and accomplish them more quickly. There is much to look at in the humorous watercolor cartoons which depict this little girl whose expressions are endearing. Her mother and a pet dog make realistic supporting characters. A delightful story upheld with equally delightful pictures, we'll want to see much more from this author/artist.

June is having a typical Saturday morning, with a list of chores she needs to complete before she can do fun stuff like playing, etc...but her imagination is way ahead of her and she imagines bizarre lumps in her oatmeal, thinks up a creative way to get to her far-off mailbox [to pick up mail], and monsters under her bed [which she needs to clean]. The illustrations are in gorgeous full-color,and quirky. My preschooler was absolutely absorbed in the illustrations and I enjoyed the way chores are viewed in an imaginative manner. An enjoyable picture book and a great read aloud.
