From Booklist:

*Starred Review* Ideal for families with working parentsand thats pretty much everyone now, right?Levines cozy ode to counting down to the weekend should provide some solace to the lonely: The hardest part of going to work is being apart from you. / Lets count the days till were both at home with a special thing to do. Levine smartly doesnt put all of his eggs in the weekend basket, pausing to focus upon special moments of togetherness wherever they happen to fall: at breakfast, while getting on the bus, when the parents return at night, and during family time on the sofa. The diversity extends to geography; the town, seen in full on the title page, includes metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas, and families from each region share the spotlight. Hectors grinning cartoon-style illustrations are delightful, based in reality but accented with unexpected color, such as the carnival stripes of a farmers distant field. But the books greatest accomplishment might be its crosssection of middle America: white, black, old, young, white-collar, blue-collar, straight, and gay (andscandal!the gay couple is pictured hanging out in the bedroom). Its that rare book perceptive enough to recognize that the random moments are those we treasure most. Preschool-Grade 1. --Daniel Kraus
