Just Another Ordinary Day - Softcover
On this very ordinary day, an ordinary little girl goes about her life. Only things aren't so ordinary as they seem: the curry she eats is a little too hot and the table is on fire; the stairs are a cliff which has to be scaled; and a simple shower is a wonderful waterfall.

About the Author:
Rod Clement has always been fascinated by nature, using a knowledge of wildlife in his illustrating work. He tries to extend the imagination of the reader,' to get the child to question and go beyond the boundaries of the obvious. But while he wants to make his readers think, he also wants to entertain them. Rod Clement is the award winning illustrator of Counting on Frank, Edward the Emu and Edwina the Emu.
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3. A clever, creative, and funny picture book from Australia. A laconic text tells of frizzy-haired Amanda's ordinary day while hilarious illustrations belie every word. Her alarm at 6:30 a.m. is a stout Oriental potentate striking a huge gong; she is driven to school by "the oldest person on the block," an elderly dinosaur in a dress; her science teacher is a huge, bug-eyed insect; "lunch from the cafeteria" consists of a banquet table with a butler dispensing immense hamburgers; her mother's off-road vehicle is an elephant. There's more inventive fun on every bold, double-page spread. Amanda, her family, and her schoolmates are unfazed by all these marvels, maintaining deadpan facial expressions at all times. The brightly colored artwork cleverly combines expressive, slightly caricatured humans with crisply realistic backgrounds and creatures.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
