This is a fabulous book and I agree with all the other reviewers. An interesting point though is that in Australia the characters in this book are Splodge and Humbug, not Bernie and Bruno! Personally I think they look more like Splodge and Humbug. Either way, a VERY cute book. It was an honour book in the Australian Children's Book Council Awards.

It was Thursday, Bruno the bear's birthday, and he had such a wonderful and fun time that he wished it didn't have to end. "He knew his birthday would be gone in the morning. So, wondered Bruno, what happened to it during the night? Where did it go?" Bruno just had to find out, and so along with his duck friend Bert embarks on a middle of the night odyssey to find Thursday and say goodbye. "First they came to a bridge. A gentle river gurgled beneath. "Oogle, gurgle. Oogle gurgle," it said. "Is that you, Thursday?" Bruno called out. "We've come to say goodbye." But there was no reply." Then on to the park, the lake, up the big hill to the train tracks, and even the seashore. Each time they called out their goodbye to Thursday. And each time there was no reply. Sad and defeated they head back home, and Bruno tells Bert what his Thursday would look like if he could find it ...round like his birthday cake, bright like his candles, and happy like his balloons. Just then, Bruno and Bert look up and see the big, glowing moon. "Just like Thursday..." Janeen Brian's simple, whimsical, and engaging story begs to be read aloud and shared, and is complemented by Stephen Michael King's expressive watercolour artwork that sparkles with lovely nightime detail. Together word and art create a magical, gentle, and soothing bedtime story. Perfect for preschoolers Where Does Thursday Go? is a sweet little treasure that's soon to become a special favorite at your house.
