Not the most entertaining children's book. Missing some context to understand what's really happening.

So I read to the kids at the preschool when we go inside for play, and I picked up this book to read to one of the little girls there.
I was confused by it. I get that it is about how this kid runs meets a cat and it ruins the day, but I couldn't get over how choppy the whole story seemed. There was no fluidity.

the illustrations are amazing, but the story is weird. I don't really want to read it more than once, and my 5 year old could care less. The pretty show one is way better.

Penultimate book in this brilliant series by the amazing author Ezra Jack Keats - picture book readers of all generations give honour to his work.

This book is classic Ezra Jack Keats. It follows Archie through his day. His day is dramatically changed after saying "hi" to a cat.

Another Great Ezra book with characters from Peter’s world. Willie the dog is there and a new character names Archie who has a flare for the dramatic. He is putting on an act and a cat spoils the show. Willie has to chase the cat.
The artwork is special and well done. These are beginning stories, simple and straight-forward. I did read this to the Nephew, but he’s too big for it and I knew that going in. The nephew likes Willie the dog as our family has a sweet spot for Dachshunds. This was too simple for him and he gave this 2 stars.

I loved the simplicity of this one. Easy to read to a baby, because they don't get bored with long droning sentence. but, still a cute story of kids just having fun together.

I picked this up following the author's work. I loved how the character here tries to entertain his neighbors, but manages to fall a little flat due to some unexpected help. The illustrations are cute and it would be a great book to read to a small child.

I think I would've liked this one better without the text; it's choppy and feels dated. The illustrations and the general flow of the story are excellent. For EJK lovers.
