In Bert's backyard, Cat enjoys sunshine in the flowerbed: "It was a perfect day for Cat." Bert fills Chickadee's feeder and drops a corncob for Squirrel: perfect days for them, too. But then Bear arrives--whose idea of a perfect day flies in the others' faces. Smith tells the story mostly through textured mixed-media illustrations reflecting each animal's joy-filled frolic.
