Why Won't Anyone Play with Me?
Written by Joy V. Smith Illustrated by Andrea Gradidge E-book Ages 3-6 How does Kandy Kitty make a friend when no one wants to play with her? It's not easy being a playful little kitten but Kandy doesn't realize she plays too rough for the other animals. Finally one of the animals speaks up and tells Kandy why they won't play with her. Then Kandy has an idea! She asks the other animals what they want to play. Now Kandy has many friends. This book is a good concept for all young children to learn. Easy to read with a loveable main character, Why Won't Anyone Play with Me? will capture the imagination of the very young. Bright, bold illustrations bring the story to life and make this an appealing e-book. The End This review of an earlier editon ran in the summer of 2003.

This review is from: Why Won't Anyone Play with Me? (Paperback)
Why Won't Anyone Play With Me? is a delightful, flat-spined children's picturebook with a relevant moral for young readers. Kallie, a curious and exuberant kitten, wants to play. But the creatures Kevin Kroaker, Tazi Treefrog, and Topper Turtle don't want to play with her! Why not? "A muffled voice, Topper Turtle's, said, 'You won't let us. We can't play the rough games you play; we're too little.'" Kallie learns to play gentle games such as hopscotch, leapfrog, and tag with her new friends. A handful of colorful cutouts of the main characters round out this simple story for teaching older children about getting along with younger children.

Reviewed by Noah Phenis (age 8) for Reader Views (11/07)
"Why Won't Anyone Play With Me?" is a short book written by Joy V. Smith for young kids to enjoy. The images in this story were done by Andrea Gradidge in a cute and fuzzy manner. The illustrations go right along with the story and help a child to see what is happening. This story was written to help teach children a lesson in life. Joy V. Smith did a pretty good job teaching us that sometimes you need to learn how to play other people's games, so they can get more enjoyment out of it and maybe they will learn to play your games too. The story uses six animal characters to play out a day's event. Four of these loveable characters are included in the back of the book as cutouts to play along with during the story, providing hands-on learning and getting the listener involved in the lesson. I would like to see the author write more stories like this in a series to help teach other life lessons to young children. I would recommend "Why Won't Anyone Play With Me?" to anyone with small children who are still learning their way in the social world. I thought this book was cute because I like kittens, frogs, turtles and salamanders which are used instead of people to tell the story. As a young child myself, I can relate to the difficulty Kallie Kitten has with making new friends and learning how to do so. Book received free of charge
