It’s time to make room on the bookshelf! Play Games with Me, the latest and final release of Kat Chen’s interactive board game series, is almost here. 

Featuring an indoor playdate, young readers can interact with the cheerful text and play alongside the book’s main character, Alex. Readers can respond to questions and follow active prompts, making it feel like they are hanging out with the main character.

The book models balanced and shared play, teaching little ones easy-to-understand lessons about caring and considerate friendship.

The book is suitable for kids who constantly search for someone to play with and for those who prefer to find their adventures within a story — this interactive way of storytelling will speak to all kids, no matter their play status. The new book is also a great fit for those moments when your kid wants a playmate, but you need a quick break from pretending to serve tea.

It is calm enough for pre-naptime storytime, but fun enough that your young one will pick it out at playtime — it lives up to being a playdate in a book! Play Games with Me is a clever and fun addition to any youngster’s bookshelf. Kids will love the book’s prompts, while parents will love the gentle yet important lessons. 

This book is the final installment in a three-book series. Chen’s other interactive board books are Play with Me and Play Outside with Me. 

The story will be available on Nov. 12 on Amazon, at the link below, and at a bookstore near you.
