From the time she awakens in the morning to the time she goes to bed at night, a small Asian-American girl imagines all the every-day activities of an ordinary human girl to be the comparable every-day actions of various animals: Josie's thumping down the stairs becomes a kangaroo hopping, for example, and her evening bathing becomes a dolphin diving. Watercolor paintings show an energetic child accompanied by the pictures she has inside her head. (Ages 2-4)
