I loved
reading the book Corduroy to my son. Don
Freeman is a wonderful illustrator. The
Day is Waiting is a collection of Don Freeman’s sketches and paintings that had
never before been published. The words
by Linda Zuckerman try to tie them all together by taking the child on a
journey of places and things waiting to be seen.
I expected
something a little different from this book.
It’s not a heartwarming story like Corduroy, but the illustrations in
this book make it all worth it. It is a
very quick read that only takes a couple of minutes. Honestly, I believe that I enjoyed it more
than my three year old son. He liked the
illustrations but the story just wasn’t there for him to make him want to keep
re-reading the book. I still love it and
think it is a beautiful book to have on my children’s bookshelf.
