Description

A funny, relatable story about how becoming "rulers" of the playground in the end is less fun than playing together and sharing. "A great choice for the beginning of the school year."This picture book about sharing, friendship, and kindness in a playground setting will remind you of favorites such as This Is Not My Hat from Jon Klassen and The Day the Crayons Quit from Drew Daywalt.One morning, Jonah decided to become ruler of the playground. Everyone agreed to obey his rules to play in King Jonah’s kingdom. Everyone except for Lennox . . . because she wanted to rule the playground, too.A gloriously rendered, hilariously deadpan tale of playground politics. Will hold the attention of preschool through second grade kids—whether they're leaders or followers, all kids navigate the world of the playground and will relate to the dynamics at play in Rulers of the Playground.School Library Journal Read more

    • Cute story
Good for a birthday gift

    • I'm so delighted to have this new one on my bookshelf
This book tackles a lot of the issues we've been dealing with on our playground lately. There seems to be a few students who have been using bossy behaviors as a way to be in charge of other friends or dictate what games will be played. So I appreciated seeing this new book as it will go a long way in helping children remember to be flexible friends. Jonah and Lennox both try and "rule" the playground but the ending result is they are left with no friends. They realize that being bossy and demanding with others is actually very exhausting so they come up with an apology plan to make things right. I'm so delighted to have this new one on my bookshelf. It's going to definitely help make a positive behavior impact. ... show more

    • Who's in charge out there?
A very cute take on the dynamic that goes on when out on playgrounds. Some kids want to make all the rules and others are followers. Some like to fight the ones who think they are in charge. Also see the dynamic of "you can't play there only here with me!" lol

    • Book that explores social dynamics
I always appreciate books that can generate conversations with my daughter about what friendships are and about the way that we treat others.

The illustrations are very good and fun to look at. The story is perfect for the 5 year old granddaughter I got it for.
