Who does not love to PLAY???!!! "Everyone, everywhere, likes to play." Throughout the book we learn about the different ways you can play, and I love how it shows different cultures playing. Through showing different cultures we can see the connection throughout that everyone plays no matter what part of the world you are from. Playing creates a bond between people whether it be with your family or friends. I like the real life photos that were used throughout the entire story. It is cool how the index in the back shows different countries and how they play, and explains the pictures that are throughout the book. I would have this in lower elementary school classrooms to show the importance of connection with your fellow classmates.
