I really like this book, though I freely admit it probably has more appeal for the adults who will read it to the kids and actual kid-appeal. It’s sweet and sentimental, with humor in the illustrations as it chronicles all the firsts of ordinary things in a new year, from first waffles to first fight with your brother, to the first snowfall and on and on through the first halloween mask and the first giving and getting on Christmas morning. Just to keep things from being completely repetitive it tosses in a few other numbers, like the second lost umbrella of the year and the 226th fight with your brother, and wraps up the year with the last waffles, last snowfall, last stories. I like it for the way it celebrates ordinary moments and I could see it sparking some interesting New Year journaling projects. It’s definitely something everyone can relate to.
