AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
This story is told in a list-like form of all the things that a person can build in a day. You can make a mess or make a sound. By the end of the book the kids in the book’s illustrations have made a community playground.
This book is pleasant, but lacks a certain energy that motivates the reader to put the book down and then “make” things themselves. The illustrations feature children and families of a variety of ethnicities.
