Leo J. ★★★★★

My kid loves deciding what Danny should say next — it's like a choose-your-own-adventure for social skills. We've read it three nights in a row and he's already copying the gentle ways to join in. The illustrations by Marina are sweet and keep his attention.

Daniel V. ★★★★☆

The choose-your-own-adventure style really got my 5-year-old engaged with the problem of how to join other kids playing. It sparked a good conversation about social cues, though the illustrations feel a bit dated.
