Busy fabric collage and strong black lines make vivid images of a mother and two small children. On the first page Mom asks: What comes before GO? The children answer: We know Get ready! Get set! They then Get ready, get set Go potty first. They get their coats and a snack, and buckle car seats. Their first stop is a grocery store. From the cart the little boy reaches for sugar snacks and cookie wookies. Uh-oh, the answer is no. His older sister calms him with deep breaths. If you re sad or mad, take deep breaths. Ready, set? B-r-e-a-t-h-e in and out and in again. That s how you calm down. She helpfully hands Mom a bag of oranges. The siblings walk to a library and then go home to play. The final spread provides On-the-Go Tips for Parents & Caregivers such as keep to a schedule and plan for some fun.
