This review is from: Won't Somebody Play with Me (Library Binding)

I read this book as a child, and it is still as wonderful! Just as always Kellogg keeps you hooked. It's about a little girl that can't find anyone to play with. She goes from door to door, but no one will play with her. She can here them inside, but no one will come out. She thinks about all the fun she will have with out them. Her imagination runs away with her and Kellogg does a great job illustrating it. At the end it all turns out well. A must have for anybody that has children-or an imagination!

This review is from: Won't Somebody Play with Me (Library Binding)

wow! i have been searching for this book for ages! i can't wait to read it again. i have vivid memories of the super-brill illustrations that while sometimes horrifying, always intrigued me for hours. if my memory serves me correctly, there was a particularly fascinating picture of rats choking on bubblegum pancakes...but don't let this scare you away! i was a very sensitive child, and still adored this book. its story is easy to relate to at any age...we all have experienced that moment when our imagination runs ridiculously wild...and of course, despite the panic, it all works out in the end. i must have read this book a zillion times, and though that was about 20 years ago, i'm positive it would be a favorite today. this book is worthy of modern classic status!
