Now a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year and Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year! All I want to do on a rainy day like today is play my game. My mom says it's a waste of time, but without my game, nothing is fun! On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong about that...
