On Monday and subsequent days, Marty is "totally tardy" after he gets distracted by inventive ideas and daydreams, such as making toast on a rope and battling a giant squid. "Never-Late Kate" smugly delivers his tardy notice each day--until she joins the fun, sparking a friendship. Filled with playfully illustrated vignettes and read-along repetition, the narrative has surefire appeal for storytime.
