"In the little town of Singletary, everyone agrees about one thing: No house needs more than ONE of ANYTHING in it. With one lamp, families huddle around a good book at night. With one book, neighbors share. With one cooking pot, meals are simple! With one ball, everyone is included in the game."
Get to know the colorful characters, beautifully illustrated, in this quirky make-believe village, and see how while they get a lot of things right, they still have a few things to learn from each other.
Themes of community and mutual respect add to the sweetness of enjoying the simple pleasures life in Singletary has to offer.
And there's a special bonus! A "Cut & Play" card game is available at the back of the book!
"This is such a sweet story. The themes of sharing and being less wasteful are important and here they are skillfully conveyed in a story which is endearing, compelling and a lot of fun. We're sure this book will be thoroughly enjoyed by both children and parents alike." ~Gail and Alex, Treasure Hunters / Historians / Craftswomen,The Northern Mudlarks on YouTube
"What a humorous, heartwarming story! The clever theme, not needing more than one of anything in our homes, is fantastic; such a fun way for children and adults to understand about not cluttering our lives with excess stuff. I love the Discussion & Activities at the back of the book, reinforcing important messages of the story, including taking time to get to know our neighbors so we don't make wrong assumptions about each other." ~Lois Yaroshefsky, K-12 Film Industry Studio Teacher / Child Advocate
"I really enjoyed this very nice book; the family togetherness, neighbors sharing, making simple meals, and how when there is just one ball, everyone gets included in the game." ~Stanley Singh, 11-year-old host of Reading With Stanley Singh, Storytime on YouTube
