Praise for this book
"Molly Lou experiments with making a floral 'whoseywhatsit, ' and then turns a backyard tree into a dollhouse, boxes into a race car, and clouds into quality TV programming. When Gertie, overindulged and bored, moves in next door, Molly Lou shows her how to embrace found objects, and soon the two girls are happily exhausted. The pro-imaginative-play and anti-consumerism message . . . will be appreciated by many." --Booklist "Catrow's cartoon-style pencil, watercolor, and collage illustrations match Molly Lou's lavish imagination. . . . Words and pictures work well to present a straightforward lesson on the value of good old-fashioned play." --School Library Journal
