Praise
***STARRED REVIEW***
"This interactive explosion of a book bursts off the page, engulfing young listeners in its inescapable exuberance...Wilder than any rumpus, this recess isn’t just a break—it’s silliness incarnate!"
—Kirkus Reviews
"Ever the troublemaker, Smith stages a jubilant, eye-popping, and highly interactive mutiny against the tyranny of strictly scheduled fun...a playful work that suggests an effective educational strategy can consist of knowing when to momentarily abandon ship."
—Publishers Weekly
