Tell Me the Day Backwards

by Albert Lamb and David McPhail, Walker Books, paperback, 5.99

Just before Timmy Bear goes to bed, he and his mother play a game, in which they try to remember everything that happened to them that day, in reverse: watching the sunset, having a picnic, being chased by bees, finding honey ... Together they trace their day all the way back to waking up that morning from their long hibernation.
