The concept is strong and the illustrations are charming.'<br /> - Youth Services Book Review, 5 stars</p> <p>'I like the soft style of the illustrations and all the vibrant colors.

This board book is adorable from start to finish!'<br /> - Books for MKs</p> <p>'With gorgeous, detailed scenes of children playing, this simple board book has very few words, encouraging children to interact with the beautiful artwork in their own way... We love the simplicity of the story and the lovely illustrations of the daily life and play of small children. Each page provides a new activity to explore and new games to play, lending itself to a day long story exploration. The settings are vivid and relatable and the book invites children to think of their own special places and games they share with friends.'<br /> -- Seven Stories</p> <p>Praise for Marit Törnqvist: </p> <p>'A simply beautiful picture book...
