Book-A-Day 60

If you have ever been rock climbing or actually hiked up a mountain, you know it is not an easy process.  You have to carefully put your feet in the right places in order to continue moving up the rock or mountain.  In the story The Daddy Mountain, by Jules Feiffer, a girl discusses the steps she takes to climb the "Daddy Mountain" and successfully reach the top.  She warns the steps are important as it "could be a catastrophe" and one should be brave.  As she climbs the mountain, her father's figure is grayed out and insignificant.  Once she is at the top, the page can be extended to show the true height of the mountain (and we finally see her father in color).  And, then we see her mother's reaction!  An enjoyable read!  #BookADay60
