From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Traffic always moves at a frantic pace on Rushmore Boulevard. Two older women who are friends live on opposite sides of the street. Agatha Walker, frustrated with its pace, takes her easy chair and a batch of freshly baked gingersnaps and parks herself in the middle of the streaming vehicles. Her friend Eulalie Scruggs soon joins her with a card table and a Parcheesi set. Traffic starts to slow down and people stop by for a chat and cookies. Soon children come out to play in the street. People plant flowers by the curb. The once-busy thoroughfare has been changed into a neighborhood gathering place and no one is in a hurry to leave. The cheerful mixed-media illustrations are of varying sizes and encased in white. In the text, the sound words are bigger and bolder than the others, and fonts vary throughout. While the slow-down-your-life sentiment is sweet, it's not a pressing one for children.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI END
