Description

---

A rollicking book that reminds young readers to go outside and play!
 
“We’re bringing the outside in, oh, bringing the outside in. . . .”
 
Nothing takes the place of splashing in a puddle or jumping into a pile of autumn leaves. Along with the mud and sand that gets tracked indoors come memories that live forever! Mary McKenna Siddals has written a joyous anthem that encourages children to play in the dirt. It will surely resonate with today’s overscheduled as well as sedentary kids, and their parents.
