A Child's Day: An Alphabet of Play    by Ida Pearle Order:  USA  Can Harcourt, 2008 (2008) Hardcover     Reviewed by Hilary Daninhirsch For the active young child in your life, here is an elementary alphabet book featuring children at play. Opening with an excerpt of a short poem by Robert Louis Stevenson entitled To Any Reader, the book shows children engaged in 26 activities, from A-Z. The simple verbs - such as eat, feed, mix and nap - are appropriate for early readers. Another fun way to enjoy A Child's Day is to have the child perform all of the actions listed in the book. The cut-paper collage designs are appealing and are a good fit with the simple nature of the book.
