A Reason to be Late!
This is a sweet story about Kate and her daddy, that answers the question of why Kate was late. To do that, the story tells about all the things Kate and her daddy see, and do, on their journey to preschool. The book also gives all the reasons that did not make her late. 
For example, she was not late because she looked for her new toy, stopped to say hello to people, or to show her dad the big equipment at a construction site. 
The reason she was late was the most wonderful reason of all. Right before her daddy left the preschool, he bent down and gave her a big, marvelous, long hug–that was full of love. That was why she was late.
This delightful tale will touch the hearts of all readers and listeners of this book—and leave them with a sweet, peaceful feeling. I highly recommend it. The illustrations are perfect, and add even more to the story. Children aged two to seven-years-old will enjoy this five-star, picture book.
Thanks to Candlewick Press, for providing Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, “Hurry, Kate, or You’ll be Late,” by Janice N. Harrington for the purpose of review. Opinions are my own.
