"...minimalistic art magnifies the beans' droll personalities (even their paddles have tiny smiles). Ping and Pong are delightfully rotund soy characters, and the story has an amusing premise—of course edamame would play table tennis..."—Kirkus Reviews"A playful and visually engaging book about the joys of sport and team playing."—Matthew C.
