(by Virginia Miller, Candlewick $13.95 Score:

Award Year: 2003.
2003 Award
(by Karen Katz, Simon & Schuster $16.95 Score:
) Suppose you could make a hat for each month of the year. What would you put on them to reflect the season or important holiday? Done in charming collage with gouache and colored pencils, this is a book that should inspire young artists as well as introduce them to the names of the months of the year.
Age: Preschool,Early School Years. Award Year: 2003.
