"Molly Lou experiments with making a floral 'whoseywhatsit,' and
then turns a backyard tree into a dollhouse, boxes into a race car,
and clouds into quality TV programming. When Gertie, overindulged
and bored, moves in next door, Molly Lou shows her how to embrace
found objects, and soon the two girls are happily exhausted. The
pro-imaginative-play and anti-consumerism message . . . will be
appreciated by many." --Booklist
"Catrow’s cartoon-style pencil, watercolor, and collage
illustrations match Molly Lou’s lavish imagination. . . . Words and
pictures work well to present a straightforward lesson on the value
of good old-fashioned play." --School Library Journal
