It is a grey, dreary day outside. But, it is a different story inside the house, where three friends are deciding what to play…shall they be princesses? or fairies? Why don’t they play ballerina? Each girl is determined that the group play her suggested role=playing game and each girl has very valid points to make about her idea. Discussion gets somewhat heated and compromise seems unlikely until they look out the window at the frogs (who were part of of the story throughout the book) playing in the rain and they decide to play together outside.

Dialog is color-coded to match each girl’s outfit, so young readers will have no difficulty following the interchange of words. Illustrations are soft and sweet and the added glitter on the cover will be a big hit. This story about friendship and playing together will resonate with younger students. Recommended.
