Even though it is a very lengthy book, it is great for showing students how to be creative in their play time. It deals with issues such as friendship and creativity. It would be appropriate for grades K-2.

This was one of my favorite books as a child. I wore the spine off completely! The book was a gift from my paternal grandparents, who inscribed the front page "from Mono and Papa." Inside, adorably cute illustrations of tiny girls and boys (some in color, others in black ink) romp across the pages, playing games, singing songs, making up nonsense poetry. The children represent varied ethnic backgrounds. The stories span the range of emotions, from having fun splashing in the mud to crying when the toy breaks to squabbling with a friend and, later, reconciliation. An excellent book. ( )
