As they play video games inside, children miss out on a world of activity just outside their window

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 1?Three children decide to stay in and play video games. They close their shutters, saying "It's so boring outside. Nothing ever happens," and miss seeing a mole pop up through the dirt, a rabbit being chased by a dog and hunter, an altercation between a cat and dog, etc. While these events aren't enough in themselves to convince readers to go play outside, the lesson is worthwhile and may get through to some. The pen-and-ink illustrations are detailed and carefully drawn, but are strangely flat and static and don't really convey all of the activity that the kids are supposed to be missing. A good message, but a rather dull messenger.?Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, NY
