Let's Build a Playground (Hardcover)

Could you really build a playground in your neighborhood? KaBOOM Find out how -- and how much fun it can be.
What's your dream playground? Grab a piece of paper and let your imagination go wild That was the first step when two hundred kids and grown-ups in an Indianapolis community got together to build the playground in this book -- one of over two thousand that KaBOOM has helped create. A slide isn't just a slide, it could be a chute to a time machine. A swing might be Pegasus flying across the galaxy. . . . Weeks of planning precede the construction of a playground that a community feels is truly theirs, a vibrant space to foster both creativity and physical activity. Sprinkled with kid-friendly factual notes, Michael J. Rosen's lively free verse, together with colorful photographs, capture the enthusiastic teamwork leading up to the final build of a playground in one day -- a playground that will welcome kids of all ages well into the future.
