On Friday Something Funny Happened (Picture Puffin) Book

Perfect for first readers, On Friday Something Funny Happened is the chaotic tale of a week in the life of two children. Each day they did one thing: "On Sunday we went to the park", for example. But that one thing turns into chaos as the pictures that illustrate the sentence clearly illustrate. Bright and breezy, this book contains more pictures than words--an element that parents can easily exploit by encouraging youngsters to tell in their own words what they think is happening in each picture. The everyday scenes will be familiar to most children and this will soon become a favourite.
