Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Ninja!
Arree Chung · 2014
87/100
👍 Worth It
Penny here — Maxwell's living-room ninja mission had me grinning, and a starred Kirkus review plus love from BCCB and The Horn Book tells you the craft backs up the fun. It's playful and quick, but it sneaks in a real, non-preachy lesson about pretend play bumping into real feelings. A genuinely delightful pick for your early elementary reader.
