PS
In this large-format book, the creatures of Busytown pursue seasonal activities including playing croquet in springtime, vacationing in summer, starting school in autumn, and ice-skating in wintertime. The illustrations contain some of the details that appeal to Scarry's fans, but most spreads feature only one or two drawings, unlike the busy images his most beloved books offer.
