Wait

- Written and illustrated by Antoinette Portis; Copyright © 2015; Roaring Book Press, New York, New York;
- This is a very contemporary, real-life story.
- A child wants his Mom to "wait" while he stops to see interesting things in the city.
- Mom is in a "hurry"!
- Only two words on these pages, the pictures tell the story.
- There are lots of opportunities for talk about each thing the child sees.
- Two opposing ideas and two opposing requests are repeated in each familiar scene.
- After the first couple of reads, a child can read it himself.
- It's a nice message to parents about slowing down and finding out what delights a child.
