From Booklist:
K-Gr. 5. From Freeze Tag to Rooster Romp, this compact, uncomplicated title guides children through a wide assortment of playground games. The first three sections group games according to category: tag and running games, jump rope, and ball games. The final section, "Let's Compete," is more random, putting Limbo and Duck, Duck, Goose in the same section. Each game's description is brief, but it provides all the necessary instructions in clear, accessible language. Sims' pencil drawings washed with color are more decorative than instructive, but they capture the energy and chaos of the playground. Veronica Chambers' jump rope book Double Dutch (2002) will make a fine partner to this title, as will other books on specific games. But kids, teachers, and parents looking for playtime inspiration will enjoy having a wide range of games and short, clear directions in one volume. Gillian Engberg
