It then moves into more abstract concepts about writing and art. A very educational book on the concept of before and after. With amazing pictures, this makes a great book for young age children.
Extension Activity- Have the kids draw a picture of a process. It can not be one from the book but something they do everyday like their hair when they wake up to after they shower or their plate before they eat dinner and after they eat dinner.
