Chr(45)Darell Hammond, New York Times best-selling author and CEO of KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to saving play' for America's children. - "...There's great energy in both Lodding's storytelling and Beaky's bright acrylic illustrations. The valuable lesson is all the more effective for being shown, and not preached..." Chr(45)Kirkus Reviews - "...Lodding's prose is studded with punny quips and names... Beaky provides acrylic caricatures that really take off once Ernestine and her nanny start to mix up her schedule..." Chr(45)Publishers Weekly - "Beautifully illustrated and charmingly written... a funny, warm-hearted and insightful story about one child's need and right to play Chr(45) and how she cleverly educates the adults around her about the importance in play in everyday life."
