Let's Rumble!: A Rough-And-Tumble Book of Play
Let's Rumble!: A Rough-And-Tumble Book of Play | Rachel G Payne
1 post | 1 read
A lively and humorous depiction of healthy rough-and-tumble play between siblings. When the oldest and youngest siblings decide to rumble, they do so with great imagination and careful consent. Wrecking ball! Steamroller! Bear hug! Sandwich!... The list goes on of inspiringly creative physical play scenarios, with a running narration of text bubbles between kids. When the middle sibling decides to join, the other two inform her of their code word ("Cantaloupe"), which means "Stop everything!" An engaging and encouraging model of healthy rough-and-tumble play, the benefits of which are explained in pointer-rich back matter for parents and caregivers.

Filled with imaginative and fluid illustrations in muted colors, the spare text draws you from page to page as you follow the active play of a set of siblings. This isn‘t the old “noogie” play with older siblings, but a wonderful set of words and images which depict rough but respectful play. Everyone in this rumble is an equal part of the sometimes rough play. Https://itsallaboutthebook.org
