Ping Wants to Play

Praise

“Gudeon . . . has crafted an appealing story out of a universal truth: friends let friends be themselves and do what they do best. The line illustrations, colored in primary hues, pop against the white pages, as does the easy-to-read, large-print text. . . . make room for Ping and Pong.”—Booklist
 
“This early reader in a picture book format serves both audiences well and works as a read-alone or as a read-aloud.”—School Library Journal
 
“A large trim size and cheerful, cartoon-style illustrations make this a satisfying choice for beginning readers, as well as a quick read-aloud for preschoolers. This playful story offers plenty of support to new readers.”—Kirkus Reviews
 
“Using typical easy-reader structure, repetition, and vocabulary, this book brings in themes of friendship, imagination, and creativity while also playing with ideas of sameness and difference.”—The Horn Book
