MY REVIEW
  This is such a sweet book talking about children getting along and playing by compromising. Two girls each want to do what they want, but get bored and lonely, because her sister isn’t playing with her. It’s such a great lesson to teach children to do what they want, but involve the other sister also.
  The book The Day No One Played Together teaches a great lesson, but also is easy to understand and very entertaining.
  The pictures in this book are very beautiful and the expressions on their faces are so real. The author uses her girl’s names in the book and I bet she got the plot of this story from her own girls.
  This book teaches you can have fun playing what you like, but it is so much more fun if you have someone to share in your fun.
  I’m glad to have this book to teach my grandson and further grandchildren what compromising is all about. A wonderful teaching tool, but also very interesting.
 I recommend this book for children ages three through nine.
