PS
A boy and his mother shop for groceries, including ingredients to make his birthday cake. This new edition retains the original version's simplicity, cheerfully chronicling a child's everyday experience. Minor adjustments to the text update it slightly, while the rich acrylic-gouache pictures are bolder and more colorful than the original three-color separations.
