Critics Review
“Few stories capture the joy of playing pretend in such a simple, direct way as this immensely charming book, perfect for reading aloud or independent exploration.“—School Library Journal
“In this follow-up to This Is a Window (2024), a backyard is transformed into a vibrant city as a group of children come together for a day of play… Conrad ably conveys children’s limitless creativity: Acorns become currency, a flipped-over kiddie pool turns into a table at a cafe, trees serve as skyscrapers, and the dangly branches of a weeping willow act as a car wash. Each illustration feels like a freeze frame from an actual day. Consisting largely of simple shapes and blocks of color, the illustrations have an appealing, two-dimensional feel; visual interest will be high, and kids will enjoy picking out details in the art. A winsome foray into a world of pure imagination.” —Kirkus Reviews
