PS
This bilingual edition includes Spanish text alongside the original English. The cheerily packed spreads (à la Richard Scarry) focus on a mixed-race family (and pet alligator) going about the day in a bustling, refreshingly diverse neighborhood. Most word choices are familiar, with some unconventional terms (e.g., "hearing aid loop sign"; "geodesic dome") making appearances.

PS
Fatus presents an irresistible word compendium, à la Richard Scarry's Busytown. Spanning from morning to night, the cheerily packed spreads concentrate on a wide variety of topics, including clothes, homes, and story characters. The whole focuses on Maya and Sam's trip into town with their grandfather; the text invites participation: e.g., "What would you like to wear today?" "What is your favorite kind of weather?"
