Pictures and rhyming text celebrate a family's day spent going to the beach, shopping at the market, eating at a restaurant and spending the evening with the rest of the extended family. All the world is here. It is there. It is everywhere. All the world is right where you are. Now. Following a circle of family and friends through the course of a day from morning till night, this book affirms the importance of all things great and small in our world, from the tiniest shell on the beach, to warm family connections, to the widest sunset sky. - Publisher.

This is a beautiful poem set to lovely picture book illustrations. I read it from the local library a few years ago and again today from the Kindle Freetime Unlimited library with a horizontal rendering. The Kindle Fire picture book is formatted well with images only. The poetry of this is great for a read-aloud and the illustrations have so much to show and more to consider besides. I would gladly welcome this picture book on our shelves.
I do not own a copy of this book, at this time.
Take a look at that cover.
Listen to a bit of the text:
“Body, shoulder, arm, hand
A moat to dig, a shell to keep
All the world is wide and deep.”
Try a little more...it's not all jolly:
“Slip, trip, stumble, fall
Tip the bucket, spill it all
Better luck another day
All the world goes round this way.”
Take a look at the cover again.
Now open the book.
You can't resist this.
