Critics Review
“Playground dynamics become testy as a willful child attempts to exclude everyone else in this simple, humorous lesson in human relations…Deft and funny.”
“Every word of the trenchant text rings true.” —Publishers Weekly
“Rosen…has written a persuasive and entertaining morality play. For all its cadences, the dialogue is pungently realistic, perfectly reflecting the reasoning that goes on among children. The ethnically diverse cast appears against a stark white urban background of high-rise apartment buildings. These unassuming pictures are surprisingly powerful; Graham grays some characters and leaves others in full- color to shift the spotlight from scene to scene, then further emphasizes this theatrical effect by zooming in or pulling back from the action.” —Kirkus Reviews
