Readers are treated to a colorful historical account of a well-known board game, and the socioeconomic factors that affected its development. Salerno's vivid illustrations are kinetic and play upon the most exciting elements of the story. Highly recommended for nonfiction collections .--School Library Journal, starred review

A brisk narrative pace propels the story . . . Salerno's lively, mixed-media illustrations carry the action forward.--Publishers Weekly

Stone personalizes this story by asking readers to consider instances when they've made changes to a game's original rules. . . Salerno's bold illustrations heighten the drama surrounding Monopoly's development and include glimpses of early versions of the game.--Booklist

Stone is a deft hand at balancing historical absurdities with important social themes, and here her picture book format invites middle-grade readers to benefit from a lesson in entrepreneurship, even as they enjoy amassing trivia surrounding a familiar game. Salerno's retro illustrations recreate the milieu.--The Bulletin
