A brilliantly chaotic and gorgeously colourful picture book from the winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, Lane Smith.
A delightful tale of backyard mischief and unexpected visitors!
Beloved author and illustrator Lane Smith brings his signature wit and charm to A Perfect Day, a warm and funny picture book about a group of animals and their (not so) perfect day in the garden.
Join a lively cast of characters as they bask in the sun, nibble on fresh corn-on-the-cob, and cool off in a clear pool of water. It seems like an idyllic afternoon. . . until an unexpected guest arrives and playful chaos ensues!
Inspired by Smith's real-life encounter with a marauding bear, A Perfect Day features bright, fresh artwork and enormously appealing animal friends. As a follow-up to Smith's Kate Greenaway Medal-winning There Is a Tribe of Kids, this delightful story is perfect for story time and is sure to captivate young readers with its humour and heart.
Discover the joys and surprises of A Perfect Day, a picture book that celebrates the beauty of nature, the power of imagination, and the unexpected adventures that can happen right in your own backyard!
Smith, with his signature humor, masterfully fills the spreads with Bear’s immense scale and endearing antics, capturing each comedic beat with text repetition and expressive illustrations * Kirkus *
Smith’s artwork is a riot of color and texture—forceful brushstrokes evoke animal fur, and gestural flowers create blasts of color in the landscape * Publishers Weekly *
A simple but entirely clever story * Reading Zone *
