Come Play With Me set consists of two picture story books. These books tell a story about a little girl who goes into the meadow to play. She soon realizes that every animal she attempts to catch and play with, runs away and escapes her. It isn't until she sits still by the pond that they all come back to greet here. This classic story teaches children about patience and the advantage of passive nature. (the Randolgh Caldecott Medal)
打开绘本，看见的是：太阳初升时，小女孩儿走到草地上，看见蚱蜢正在吃早餐，就对蚱蜢说：“和我一起玩好吗?”还伸手想去抓蚱蜢，吓得它马上跳开了。接下来，小女孩陆续看见了青蛙、乌龟、松鼠等小动物，仍然要它们和她一起玩，还屡屡动手去抓，这种举动当然吓跑了所有小动物。接连碰壁的小女孩儿非常落寞，只好一个人静静地坐着，什么事也不能做。没想到就在这种“无所作为”的情况下，原本——遁逃的小动物一一回来了，它们回归到原来的位置上，和小女孩儿静静地相处，看似保持安全距离，互不惊扰对方，其实已经形成了自然相处的模式，营造出和谐共处的氛围。
