BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL - AVERAGE
Izzie's big brother, Ollie, has become engrossed in a new videogame, "Smash Tower," and no longer wants to play with Izzie. Fortunately, a new family of ogres has moved into the backyard with a son named Tim. Izzie and Tim take Ollie's discarded toys to create a real life adventure game.
I liked the great comic book panel illustrations of this book. I liked that it showed how fun imaginative play is when children are fully engaged. I liked how it showed a positive sibling relationship. The story is told by the pictures with minimal text. The family has dark brown skin with straight black hair. There is no indication of a specific racial identity.
