(3) PS It's bedtime, but Arlo's animal friends are excited to put on a play. In each spread, the animals highlight a different element of playmaking: scenery, costumes, sound, movement, props, etc. Finally, everything comes together in a satisfying gatefold. Speech-bubble text, clever die-cut curtains, and canny details in the bold gouache illustrations encourage exploration, observation, and rereading.
