"A stunning, warm story about the many ways that play sparks joy"
-- Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review)
"Grimes crafts an outstanding story igniting a passion for play
while mirroring its relationship to authentic work and the
fundamental elements of true productivity: lunch, naptime, and
winning" -- School Library Journal, STARRED review
"The tale captures the drama of a full day of play, empowering
children by letting them know that they can be experts, too. The
illustrations are beautiful, vibrant, and full of action, with
creative ways of displaying text. Any child-and-parent duo is sure
to relate to this depiction of a hard day at play" -- Booklist
"This is a beautiful and lighthearted celebration of young
families. Highly recommended as a gift for new parents and for
lapsit storytimes" -- Youth Services Book Review, STARRED review
