About this title: Kindergarten teacher Vivian Gussin Paley looks at one of the most common problems of the classroom and school--what to do when classmates isolate a child.

"Don't quite know how to describe this book, but I sure wish I had Vivian Paley for my kindergarten teacher. She explores social rejection among young children, and how we might be able to eliminate it and include everyone. It's a very important topic and the book is a fascinating account of the attempt and discussion in her own school, but I need to know how this experiment turned out long term. Honestly, I may have missed some of the message here because of the way the Paley wove in a fictional fantasy story, but I did appreciate the connection and the style and how it relates to the way children learn."
"This woman seems to be a great teacher and is definitely a great at looking at things from a child's perspective. She argues well for her "you can't say you can't play" rule in the classroom, and I hope to make to a rule in our house as well. Teachers of elementary school should definitely read this book.
I gave it only three stars because, well, it's nonfiction (personal preference). And I didn't totally love the magpie stories, though I realize their purpose in her classroom."
"I read this book for a class. If the concept could be a rule beginning in kindergarden and followed throughout a student's school life and beyond, then it might actually eradicate excluding others from participating in activities."
"Great introduction to the topic of inclusiveness in the classroom and in any social setting. I would have liked a follow-up, though, after a few years of applying this rule to the classroom...after time to really explore its impact."
