I have incorportated this book and song into our daily routine at our YMCA Child Care Center. What a great motivator for both children and staff. The children love to follow along in the book and quickly learn all the words. Its the kind of tune you find yourself humming all day long. A great way to strike up conversations between adults and children because it is so uplifting. It is a terrific addition to any child care environment.

Co-written by Joan Buzick & Lindy Judd, and enhanced with illustrations by James Kevin Sullivan and music by Joan Buzick, "What Went Right Today" combines thought-provoking questions with engaging pictures that, along with the accompany CD of lively songs, is designed to generate positive conversations enabling children ages 3 to 8 in identifying and appreciating the good things in their personal world. "What Went Right Today" is the perfect picturebook response to children's such commonly expressed negative phrases as "There's nothing to do!" and "Do I have to?", and "I don't want to!". A fun, "kid friendly", and unique interactive audio-picturebook, "What Went Right Today" is strongly recommended to the attention of parents concerned with instilling proper and positive values into the hearts and minds of their children.

Want a great way to teach your children skills that will last into adulthood while creating fun family memories? This book is it! Focusing on the positives in our lives is a wonderful habit we can instill in our children. What a great reminder for us adults as well! I have used this book with children and adults alike as I work to educate child care practitioners. Everyone leaves with a smile on their face when this book is used as a closing to our class.

Prior to teaching my children at home, I owned a small daycare. Including me, there were four teachers and we were always on the lookout for positive educational tools to make learning fun, enjoyable, and interactive.

"What Went Right Today?" by Joan Buzick & Lindy Judd is all three. This book helps children, ages 3 - 8, to focus on the simple pleasures each day can bring. The pages are colorful, cheerful and bright. The book comes with a toe-tapping CD to put words to music so that your child can sing-a-long.

In March of 2008, be on the lookout for "What Went Right Today?" Journal. It's a 72 page spiral journal for children to draw and record positive experiences. What an awesome keepsake as well as a neat way to start off 2008.

"What Went Right Today?" has been awarded the 2006 Benjamin Franklin Award for "Best Children's Audiobook" and the 2007 Teachers' Choice Award for the Family.
