"A rollicking rhyme to deliver a message encouraging kids to exchange indoor activities for outdoor pleasures ... Adults who want to encourage kids to view indoor and outdoor play differently finally have a picture book that contrasts the two, supporting the notion of moving, discovering, and exploring nature. The focus on listening, looking, and experiencing leaves nothing to wonder and gives adults rudimentary clues for helping youngsters interact with, observe, and appreciate their outdoors world as much as their indoors one. ... Highly recommended for parents, preschool teachers, childcare providers, and anyone who would foster an early appreciation of nature in the very young." —D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
