From the supplier: Pinnacle Financial Services staged a multimedia advertising campaign when it acquired People's State Bank and First Federal Savings Bank. The initiative featured the faces of employees of the acquired banks as well as the new name of the banks, Pinnacle Financial Services. This approach helped to ensure loyal customers that although the names of People's State and First Federal were being changed, the same employees would still be attending to their needs.

Product Description

If you were an octopus, you′d have eight legs to put into pants!

The world of small children is filled with day-in, day-out challenges and tiresome activities. If someone's not telling you to get dressed, they're making you eat lunch, climb into the car seat, or take a nap. However, young humans should count their blessings. Baby birds have to eat worms for lunch. Tigers may not ever have to climb into a bathtub, but that's because their mothers are always licking them clean! And imagine being a shark when it comes time to brush your teeth--all 200 of them. Julie Markes hits her mark with this clever picture book, which will probably make at least a few human children appreciate their relatively simple daily routines (at least when compared to shoeless caterpillars). Maggie Smith's playful, detailed illustrations bring every character to life, with continually changing expressions even on the faces of the protagonist's many stuffed animals. Smith's artistic humor, combined with Markes's wise, wonderful text, will make this a favorite among kids and their parents, who may even want to expand and personalize the game for their own daily skirmishes. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Happy with purchase
Happy with the purchase - book a little more worn than i thought but happy all the same

Good thing you are not an octopus
Purchased this book for my daughter who needed it for school.We have been reading it now for 2 weeks and she loves it.The only issue I had was the confusion on delivery.I read that it would be received in 4 days but that is the number of days before it was shipped so we did no get it for 10 days missed the deadline for the school.

Nice book even for easy going child
I bought this mostly for my 4 year old who complains and procrastinates on most of the tasks in the book.There are a few she does readily, but that's the minority.She really enjoyed the book and understood the concepts.She is much better at cooperating now.She even jokes, about not being a such and such animal like in the book.

I have a 3 year old who is the opposite.She loves to do all things to please Mommy and Daddy.She can be stubborn, but for the most part enjoys doing things she is asked to do. She likes to show Mommy and Daddy all the things she can do by herself. She takes requests from a totally different prespective than her sister. She loved this book.She laughed through the whole thing. She thought it was hilarious.

I disagree with the 2 star reviewer who says it gave her child negative ideas.My 3 year old didn't take it that way at all. She saw it as entertaining, not her reality.

Perfect for daily routine events
My daughter and I love this book! Every page hits upon a major part of our daily routine. She can relate to each task the boy has to go through. Although she doesn't have problems doing them, she likes seeing the animal comparisons with the boy. Fantastic text and illustrations! We read this every day!

special needs
I purchased this book for my 13 year old son, whose diagnosis is Down Syndrome, severe MR, non-verbal and vision impaired.Cognitively he's about 18-24 months old. The words and pictures in this book were bright and clear enough for my son to enjoy. The rhythms were crisp and bouncy, just what he likes. The child in the book is a young boy, but he doesn't look babyish. My son loves books about other boys having fun and this book fits the bill perfectly. As a bonus, it reinforces basic lessons on dressing yourself,etc. good for any young child to hear, but it does so in a way thats just plain fun. ... Read more
