Praise for this book
"...a great book to use when teaching story details--who, what, when, why, and how. But be ready to jump and swing!" --Children's Literature
"The infectious rhythm of Nobisso's rhymes move the tale through the fundamental questions at the heart of storytelling. (They) successfully convey the undiluted rapture of an afternoon well spent at the playground." --Kirkus Reviews
"It is a good resource for teachers who introduce story writing and using who, what, when, where, how, and why. An excellent addition to any library collection for its constant silliness from beginning to end." --South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative
"A rollicking, frolicking romp in rhyme and rhythm with a lively pastel cast of characters. Little ones will want to hear it again and again. The beat is fast and satisfying, easy to read and easy to follow." --Tacoma Public Schools Librarian
"The irresistible rhythms of the text combine with the joyful, vivid illustrations to bring to life the hand-clapping, rope-jumping, high-swinging celebration. This will make a great read-aloud." --Librarian, Clover Park School
