Noisy Poems for a Busy Day

Nothing about it is really grabbing me, but I guess I don’t really have any strong objections either, so it lands in the fuzzy “additional purchase” category.  It’s a series of very short poems (most of which follow pretty much the same five-short-line format) that together trace through the course of a day from getting up and getting dressed to playing at the park, eating dinner, and going to bed.  My only actual gripe is with the color-scheme of the illustrations that seems to be part of a trend I’ve been noticing lately in too many picture books: using colors that are rather soft and dull and kinda drab.
