Saturday, Sunday

Contrasting the frenetic energy of a busy Saturday with the leisurely pace of a slow Sunday, this lively rhyming picture book assures us that fast days and slow days are an equally exciting part of family life.

Wake up! It's Saturday, jump out of bed!
Brush teeth! Get dressed! Make sure the dog's fed!
There's so much to do, we mustn't waste time.
Look at the clock - it's a quarter to nine!

Wake up. Stretch and yawn.
We've got the whole day.
There's plenty of time on Sunday to play.

Journey through a family weekend celebrating the precious shared moments amidst the chaos and the calm.
