My Day in the Garden

(3) PS Illustrated by Anita Lobel. Lavishly patterned paintings show four girls spending a rainy day playing dress-up in magnificent flower and animal costumes, while the text, in an oversized typeface, talks of "flower-counting with the butterflies," "lunch with the ladybugs," and other activities. Readers will wish for indulgent costume-designer parents such as the ones depicted, who just happen to have fantastic fodder for make-believe lying around the house.
