Reviews:
Publisher’s Weekly says, “Taps into the free-for-all that is imaginative play”
and “the singsong sound effects invite reader involvement.”
Read the entire review here.

School Library Journal says ” The text is fun to read,” and “Loads of imaginative detail in the illustrations and appealing button-eyed characters make this a good choice for classroom use and one-on-one reading.”

Their verdict is: “A lighthearted look at imaginative play and friendship, perfect for storytime or readers’ theater productions.”

Kirkus says: The only thing better than reading about this full day of play is having one in real life. See the entire review here.
