One Hot Summer Day

It's hot. So hot! One little girl shows what she does on a hot summer day outside her apartment in a bustling city. I love the illustrations, made of photographs cut up and rearranged collage-style. The text is just right for a read-aloud, engaging but simple.

Summary: It is a hot summer day, and a young girl plays different activities outside. She tries to fry an egg on the ground outside, plays with her shadow, eats popsicles, and then realizes it is "too hot to play on the swings or sand box." Then a big storm comes, and she is excited to play in the rain. Once the storm passes, it is a hot summer day again.

The central message of this book is to enjoy being outside in the fresh air. I did not particularly like this book, because it is very vague. There were only a few words on each page, and I don't think anything happened in the story that children would get excited about. Although, the illustrations were different, because they were pictures of real life objects and people that were show more formed into a collage. show less
