Synopsis

Everyone can do things in different ways. Sometimes we're fast, noisy, or strong. This is Little Guinea Pig's first day at nursery school and he is doing lots of different things. He can be careful when he is building his bricks. He can be loud when it is music time. This book highlights the significance of actions for pre-school children and is a perfect companion to "I Have Feelings" which teaches about emotions - a must for every nursery.

From School Library Journal:

PreS–Preschoolers will delight in sharing Little Guinea Pig's day at nursery school. The little guy, empowered by a good breakfast, races off to partake in crafts, playtimes, music class, etc. His actions are showcased on each right-hand page followed by an illustration depicting an adjective that describes the activity. For example, throughout the course of the day, he is fast, strong, quiet, busy, careful, noisy, clever, and helpful. The uncluttered illustrations, done in acrylic paint and colored pencil, are soft and warm. This charming book makes a good supplemental purchase for larger collections and is well suited to children who are starting nursery school.–Linda Zeilstra Sawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL
