(2) PS Illustrated by Maggie Smith. A smoothly written, snappy cumulative rhyme lists the layers of clothing a mother is attempting to put on her not-so-cooperative child. Busy prints and patterns accentuate the action as the colorful illustrations extend the story, which ends with a toddler striptease. Young listeners will cheer along; with luck, that'll be the extent of the audience participation.
