About this title

From School Library Journal:

reSchool--Ellie waits her turn for breakfast as she and her dad do morning chores. They feed the rabbits, the ducks, and the turkeys, and try to feed the goats, but they are only interested in the child's hat. "But Ellie needs the hat to carry the eggs-to take back home for Dad to cook-for Ellie's breakfast." From the page where Dad sits on the floor to put on his boots and his daughter pulls on her hat to the pages where Dad is frying an egg and Ellie is eating it, the illustrations tell the story of the morning routine and a loving relationship. The richly colored, childlike illustrations are realistically rendered, and the farm animals are delightfully friendly. Ducks are seen hiding in the grass, and the goats have a particularly mischievous look. And Mom and the dog eagerly await Dad and Ellie in the kitchen. There is as much or more story in the art as in the text, and toddlers will enjoy "reading" these pictures. Whether combined with books about farm animals, Dads, or eating, Ellie's Breakfast will be great fare for storyhours.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
