A small album for children who want to live with their bottoms exposed! Written by Susie Morgenstern and illustrated by Marie Quentrec, Not the blue jumpsuit it's full of humor and whimsy, and also makes us want to take a walk in the garden in hot weather, to cool off with the garden hose.
Mr. Maxi and Mr. Mini, from 3 years
