Overview

A charming picture book from two celebrated masters of children's literature. This lyric poem by one of the most revered children's writers captures those faint glimpses of things that you see but don't quite recognize; sounds you can almost hear; smells, tastes, and feelings that you can't quite name. Each line of the poem and each picture in the book depict the sensual essence of a child's day, each of which is totally typical yet thoroughly unique.
