In this dress-up novelty board book, flip the patterned flaps to change each character's outfit! Young readers start by choosing a character they like, each with three die-cut items of clothing. Then they select 3 of the colorful, patterned flaps from the back of the book. Placing the flaps under the die-cuts, readers can mix and match patterns and palettes until they've settled on the most fabulous combinations, delighting in the ensembles that result! This introduction to collage, color, and pattern—minus the mess of an art project—offers portable and contained creativity for on-the-go fun!
