"Pounce and wrestle on the floor. / Hold on tight for tug-of-war." This celebration of play features animal and human youngsters and their parents engaged in species-appropriate activities (e.g., people at the beach, puffins surfing waves, kangaroos leaping, elephants rolling in mud). Soft-edged illustrations accompany the occasionally forced rhyming text. "Play Tips" conclude the book.
