First of all, I like the cover. I think that it will draw children in because children of that age love school buses. The book tries to solve the age-old problem of asking the child what they did in school and the child saying "nothing." The rhyming of the sentences brings another element to the story that will delight the children, also. Children love rhymes. Overall, I think that the book is a great idea and one that both parents and children will love.

[Diana Navas]

I like that it is appealing to children; the cover has a lot of color, and the title is captivating. Children spend a lot of time in school, and the author is right about some parents not having that much time to start conversations with their children.

[Bertha Jackson]

The cover and illustrations were vivid and appropriate for the book. My favorite aspect of this book was that each of the questions was relatable to a wide variety of children. There was nothing I disliked about this well-crafted book, and I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.

I thought the illustration were quite appealing. The questions would be so helpful to get a child to discuss their day at school.

I thought this was a fun book to look at and read and rate it a 5 out of 5. It is professionally written and edited. What I liked most about this book is that the questions are written in a poem and all the illustrations brought me joy. I would read this out loud to toddlers and point out different elements in the illustrations that they will recognize when they start school. K-3rd graders would enjoy reading this book and coming up with their own answers to the question " What did you learn today?"
The font and picture on the cover grabbed my attention and I wanted to read this book. It looked fun and I would add it to my children's library.
I recommend this book to parents, teachers, and K-3 readers because it presents a common question that kids sometimes do not like to answer. Some adults also expect a certain answer about math or reading.
I liked how the author included creative and fun answers to this question, encouraging kids to use their imagination; This also teaches adults that kids do not need to always have a serious answer to this question.

The author or publisher worked wonders on the cover. I know we are always advised not to judge a book by its cover, but as with many rules, there are exceptions, and I think they apply to this book. The cover will draw everyone in that by the time they read, they will feel compensated.

[Skylar Fox]

The cover of the book is appealing to the target audience and parents would want to get the book too. The book is very well written. I loved it.

[Tasha Marie Poole Sullivan]
