Critics Review
Starred Review, Booklist, March 15, 2013: “A wonderfully fresh look at a timeless topic.”
Starred Review, The Bulletin, July 2013:
“In addition to being a mesmerizing tale in its own right, the book offers a wide range of possible uses—it’s rich with opportunities for one-on-one seek and find, whether of water or of people, and its immediacy and vividness make it a sneaky alternative for days when weather kills off an actual park visit.”
The New York Times Book Review, June 2, 2013:
“Jenkins taps out the day’s rhythm in clear, unadorned prose… [with] characters as diverse as their real-life counterparts in Prospect Park.”
Starred Review, Booklist, March 15, 2013:
“A wonderfully fresh look at a timeless topic.”
