Jan is an angel. When will she stop by for tea?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Jan is an angel. If her personal life contains even 1/10th of the positivity that permeates her books for children, you would wish her to babysit your dearest, most protected children. Nice alter-egos of Jan's books are attractive to adults, including an amazing illustrative storytelling skil and, perhaps, easy status as conversation pieces for their lack of words.My daughter loves these books. I love reading them to her. Every day, I wonder why great authors like Jan aren't in print for easy access by today's children.

This is a first-rate book. Won the Children's book Council Children's Picture Book of the Year Award in 1982.Ormerod's textless illustrations of a family's early morning activities is superb. The little girl,creeps into mum and dad's bed in the morning (the alarm closck tells us it is 7.20, kisses dad, and then helps him prepare breakfast (the toast burns as he reads the paper). They take breakfast into mum, still in bed. mum goes back to sleep, and dad gets lost in the paper. Our heroine gets herself dressed and toileted. It's now 8.25, and a rush ensues as Mum and dad leap out of bed to get going.Absolutely delightful. Lots of fodder for children's imagination, and sequencing skills - some of the pics are in strip cartoon format.There is a sequel, moonlight, about activities at the other end of the day, which is just as delightful.A timeless classic; thoroughly recommended. It was a firm bedtime favourite in our house from about age 2 1/2 on.
A simply beautiful book, imparts its essence to all ages

A simple view of everyday life that has a certain magic in its simplicity. Children are free to put their own connotation to the illistrations. A favorite, prized member of our childrens library.
