In this innovative volume, readers learn about seasons, colors, numbers and time as they help the fox-and-mouse duo get dressed, go to school and get ready for bed: Katie and Tom's Busy Day by Armelle Boy. A flap opens to reveal Katie's wardrobe, and youngsters can select an outfit and insert it into a tab to ""dress"" her; in art class, they can choose one of three transparencies tucked into pockets to see what results from combining colors on Katie's easel.
