Saturday
By Oge Mora
Little, Brown and Company, 2019. Picture Book
Ava is a young girl that looks forward to Saturday all week long. Saturday is the one day that her mother doesnāt have to workātherefore Saturday is the one day when they can spend time together doing whatever they want. On this particular Saturday Ava and her mother have quite a few āspecialā and āsplendidā plans. Unfortunately story time at the library is cancelled. A car splashes them as it drives by (just after they get their hair done at a salon). Their peaceful park was extra noisy. And when they get to the theater they realize that they left their tickets for the performance at home. This is a good book for kids who look forward to happy plans only to have things not turn out quite as happy as they had hoped. Also, those young readers who get limited āfunā time with their grownups will enjoy reading about a girl and her mom and how they make the most of the time they do have together. Quite beautifulādespite the crazy Saturday.
