### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Still Amazing
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2023*

I read this book over 20 years ago as required reading for a class and it impacted me then. Because of some events in classrooms I decided to read it again and it is just as relevant today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Awesome for kids and teachers
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2022*

With all the craziness going on these days, this takes the judgement out of a classroom and allows for acceptance and friendships with kids (and adults) to get along and thrive. A blue print for creating a safe space

    Eyeopener
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2010*

I thought You Can't Say You Can't Play was an eyeopener. I am an elementary school teacher and hear the words often. This book gave a detailed account on how the children feel that are speakers of these words and hearers of these words. I never gave it much thought until reading this book. My response has, in the past been, find a new friend. I never considered how deeply these words cut the children that were hearing them. This "you can't play" phenomenon is affecting students in kindergarten through 5th grade. It was interesting to hear how the students at various ages responded to Paley's new rule. Prior to reading the story I expected to walk away with more research based ideas on how to handle this in the classroom. However, the book was Paley's students journey of establishing the rule you can't say you can't play. Sprinkled throughout the book was Paley's Magpie stories (fictional stories that she made up and shared with her student). These little stories tossed in caused the story not to flow as nicely as it could have. I think the story would have been much easier to read without them. Overall, I think it's an insightful story for elementary school teachers. It certainly has me thinking more about the course of action to take when students say these words to others.
