The Almost Terrible Playdate

The Almost Terrible Playdate

â€œ[A]Â delightful look at the importance of compromise among friends.â€ â€”Â Kirkus

Ideal for all families who have ever heard (or said!) the words â€œWhy canâ€™t you both JUST GET ALONG?!â€, here is the story of two young children with VERY different ideas of what they want to play. What starts with an innocent question (â€œWhat do you want to play?â€) soon veers hilariously toward chaos, as two children engage in the age-old struggle of princesses, ponies, and ballet vs. dinosaurs, dragons, and race cars. Which child will win? Or will both find a way to play nicely together?
Â
In a humorous mockâ€“epic battle staged with crayon illustrations of each childâ€™s increasingly steadfast and elaborate ideas of what they want to play, Richard Torrey taps into the charged and volatile emotions of childhood, which every parent and child will recognize with a smile. Itâ€™s a lighthearted and funny way to reflect on the ideas of sharing, cooperation, patience, and generosity.
