Won't You Come and Play with Me?

32 pp. | Houghton | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-395-84630-7
(3) K-3 Bright, rounded watercolor and scratchboard illustrations give a cheerful feel to this adaptation of an old street rhyme about a boy who frequently stops to play while running errands for his mother. Young children can find reassurance in the fact that Mom does not scold her son for tarrying, but welcomes him home with a hug, supper, and a story.
