Matt's Hat!

David Sim. Intervisual Books, $6.95 (10pp) ISBN 978-1-58117-197-6

A colorful canine helps readers count and learn colors in two books by David Sim: Matt's Mat! and Matt's Hat! Mottled, electric-bright brushstrokes create textured landscapes. In the first, readers begin by touching a single furry pink circle on Matt's mat, then progress through each page, with one additional fuzzy circle to touch, as they meet the pooch and his friends. In the second, die-cut openings show an array of different-colored hats as Matt searches for just the right one.
