BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL(K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Two little boys meet at the park to play one day. Jack loves playing with trucks, and Alex prefers playing with sparkly dolls. While the initial meet up seems destined for conflict, the two boys work out a new game that involves both of their favorite things.
This is a fun and simple story that young readers will appreciate about working conflicts out on their own. I also like the message that you don't have to like exactly the same thing in order to play together. The illustrations in this book are great and the story is really straightforward. It seems be another book with the "hidden" message that boys can play with dolls, too, and I actually enjoyed this story more than Teddy's Favorite Toy. Overall it will be a nice addition to any library.
