Welcome to Litsy!

I love this book because it‘s about a mother and daughter enjoying their day together. Except everything keeps going wrong! In the end, it is heartwarming when the little girl reassures her mom.

I would use this book to have a conversation with my students about what they like to do with their family or if they have a special day like Ava and her mom do

This was an extremely cute book and held a valuable lesson of spending time with others is important no matter what you do

This book has fun illustrations that display many colors to show the fun that the two were having. The words are simple, but descriptive enough to make the reader feel like they're really in the book.
The book follows a mother and daughter who spend every Saturday doing something fun together, until one Saturday, nothing was going to plan.
My favorite quote is, “Saturdays are wonderful because I spend them with you“ shows theme of love.

This story is all about the up-and-down journey that a mother and daughter are on that reminds them of what's best about Saturdays: precious time together. Every single week they look forward to their special Saturday routine, but this Saturday things go wrong. The story displays how the mother and daughter navigate these hiccups in their perfect routine and shows how they overcome them.

A story about dealing with frustration when plans don't go as planned. Even more reassuring in life during covid-shut downs. ("...storytime was cancelled.") The repeatition in the text and illustrations helps both vocab building and depicting time passing. The endpages are a child's calendar which could tie into early math studies. #dw2020reads #campreadalot2020

I am going to try to find new to me picture and short stories to fill in the summer fun jr bingo card. My first pick was Saturday.
I loved this book! It walked through how a mother and daughter spent and entire day together, and nothing seemed to go right, but in the end they had a blast just being together.
