  • What do we see in the illustration? You could check out the drawings on the aprons at the end of the book, and even create your own "family doodle", with each member of your family adding to the artwork. When you're done, you can look together to find out whether any shapes of objects or characters are hiding in the doodle you made.
  • Illustrations – look for me Look at the illustrations together and find out what the cat does on each page or where there are strawberries. You could search for certain items, or choose a color and look for details painted in that particular color in all the illustrations.
  • What did you do today? Paint stains on palms, sand in shoes, or food stains on clothes are all indications of what your child did in kindergarten today. Together, you could look at the traces left by their action-packed day. Can you, parents, use the signs to try and guess what your child has done today, and discuss their experiences with them?
