Customer Reviews

I loved this book

I read to 3-4 year olds at a day care center, and my name is Mary, so I took a chance on this book, and I am glad I did. Mary gets up in the morning feeling contrary. All day long she does contrary things (asking for roast potatoes and gravy for breakfast, riding her bicycle backwards). Finally, at the end of the day her mother turns the tables on her causing laughter and ending in a cuddle. Delightful book.

Is this your child?

As a parent you may recognize your own darling child who spends a whole day doing contrary things. I did! The book has some amusing scenes. It is one of those books that kids LOVE and parents read. Not MY favorite but certainly one of my daughter's favorites!
