So far, I have read this with three classes (one kinder class & their parents) and two 3rd grade classes and the response has been the same - all have loved the book. The kinders immediately wanted to write their own short ONE DAY stories. I love when they are inspired. With the third graders, we talked about writing structure, and being inspired by the text (they had just read LOVE THAT DOG and learned about how their work could be inspired by an author's work). It was also amazing to explore the idea that the text can leave you wanting more and that the illustrations can fill in the gaps which is beautifully demonstrated by Dotlich and Koehler.

In the words of one third grader - "One Day, Ms. Beecher read us a story, I liked it. The end." And this teacher loved seeing her students inspired to write.

3.5 stars. This was pretty cute and the artwork was a lot of fun. Short but sweet.
