A wordless picture book about a boy exploring the woods at night with a flashlight. The illustrations were very cute, and I enjoyed only parts of the pages being in color. It felt quiet and peaceful.

This book was very interesting. I didn't know anything about the creation of Monopoly, and I love that after Lizzie Magie created it people made it their own using their own pieces, boards, and even rules. I also didn't know the politics behind the creation of the game, which was fascinating and very relevant to the present. It's upsetting she was cheated out of so much money, and ignored for most of the games history. I'm glad this book tells her story.
