Synonyms! Bright colors! Kids with different skin tones just having a dang fun time playing dress-up!

Who knew Keith Haring made a book for kids? Our friend Liz did, and we're lucky we received this hand-me-down.

Great book for little kids. The drawings are simple, and the kids learn lots of synonyms for the word "big".
