"It's Sunday morning. / There's no school today. / Where is everybody? / It's time to play." Young readers and listeners will enjoy the text's lilting rhymes while lifting flaps to find the main character's pets, siblings, and parents. Cartoon drawings trace the little girl's route all through the house, ending with a comical leap onto her parents' bed.

After a girl learns why her dog and cat have grown big bellies, she understands why her mom's waistline has, likewise, expanded. Regardless of some arrhythmia ("She was fat when she went in, / but she came out thin") and the fact that most women don't look thin right after they give birth, this is a sweet, disarmingly illustrated lift-the-flap romp.
