(4) PS Illustrated by Julia Gorton. One side of this upside-down book starts with a morning stretch and goes on to highlight the things hands can do (washing up, holding a butterfly, holding hands). The flip side begins with wiggling toes and then focuses on dancing, prancing feet throughout the day. Both sides meet in the middle where hands and feet (and two little girls) settle down to sleep. The airbrushed acrylic art is bland, but different textures add visual interest.
