This is a book for children but adults are going to read it anyway to them. It could give them some ideas though regarding interaction with them.

I don't think it's suitable for an adult audience, I understand the value for adults who have children of their own, siblings or relatives. As a parent, I appreciate the tips and advice given in this type of book.

The only reason adults read this book is either they have children to read to or they really enjoy reading children book. This book is aimed specifically written for children, so unless the adults are parents or someone who read itnfor children, I don't think an adult will read this book.

Yes, of course! I always believe we stand to learn everyday. And the book is a great way to get adults to learn how to have conversations with kids, which can be a huge feat all on its own.

Off course. Because it is essential for parents to ask this question. And what is a better way than asking through this book. It's a great book for adults who have children or wants have children in the future.

It's a good recommendation for guardians and adults who give home lessons to their children or ward

I think this book is suitable for adults , because they get to ask the question and this book educates parents on the most efficient way of asking this question. And I don't think it's for parents alone because an adult sibling could also ask about his sister's or brother's day at school. A guardian could do the same. So it's appropriate for anyone who has a child around them.

The question "What did you do at school today?" is often met with a simple "I don't know" from my nearly-kindergartner. However, after reading this book and based on its intriguing title and brief summary, I felt confident there was something valuable within that would encourage my child to share more about their day. After reading it, and with a bit of prompting, we are now able to have meaningful conversations about the type of day they had and what might be different about tomorrow. This book has proven to be an effective tool in fostering more insightful discussions about their school experiences.

I think the book is suitable for adults who crave the nostalgia of childhood. Older adults, grandparents in particular would enjoy reminiscing on the days of their youth. Some adults, however, especially those who don't hang around young children will not enjoy the book.

It is suitable for adults who have children in their lives, care about those children, and want the children to know that they care.

Latest Review: Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling by Duncan Taub

Post by Carol McCoy Phelps »

While the book can be useful for co-reading with children, there is another application I would like to mention. The anatomy of the questions, the very framework of this type of discussion with the child, can lead to a comfortable understanding between adult and child for other discussions in life.

Using this book to study and learn the patterns for talking to their children, adults can help create a good two-way communication in their family.

Post by Frank Edwards »

I believe adults are essentially just tall children, so yes, this book is suitable for them as well. However, it may be most valuable for adults with young children, as it provides inspiration and guidance on engaging with them after school. While a single adult might enjoy it vicariously, reading it with kids makes the experience even more fulfilling.

Latest Review: Henrietta Lacks The Untold Story by Ron Lacks

Post by Seetha E »

This book is equally appropriate for a young readership as it is for parents and other elders in the house. While the book's captivating illustrations keep the primary audience - the children - engaged, it also provides parents and other elders with tips on meaningful interactions with them to find out about their school day.

I think this book is suitable for adults who have children in their lives, such as parents, guardians, and even adults with very young siblings. It would be a fun read-along with very young children, whether as a bed-time story, or at an event aimed at introducing children to the world of books.

I think adults can also enjoy the book, better with their children. It is a good way parents can have a peep into the whole lot of activities that go on in school and it can help them better understand which areas they kids are good in.
