Customer Reviews

Children will enjoy this book!
Rick Kupchella, author of Tell Me What We Did Today, is a TV news anchor and reporter in the Twin Cities. He's also a dad who wrote an important story to share with children about the everyday life of children. Warren Hanson is the illustrator of this book and of the classic, A Cup of Christmas Tea and the PEEF books. When these two men got together to create a storybook, it was a success. And it will delight children of all ages.

Life is made up of simple, everyday experiences. And sharing those experiences, real or made up, is a wonderful way for parents or grandparents to connect with their children or grandchildren. And that is what Kupchella's book accomplishes. It's a zany, rollicking, wild and fun ride into the real, the made up, and the big things and little things of life.

I always enjoy rhyming children's books and those that allow children to interact. Kupchella's book does both. His prose is in rhyme and he asks silly questions that elicit responses, usually a Noooooooo, from the children. And Hanson's bright, big and bold illustrations are oh, so inviting.

Armchair Interviews says: Kupchella believes there is nothing better than sitting down at the day's end with your children and laughing with them. Reading Tell Me What We Did Today is one way to accomplish this. We recommend it highly.
