In this paper-over-board volume, Todd (Start Your Engines) presents a series of costumed children, each set against a solid background and facing front like a paper doll. His cowgirl, who "can rope a snack in three seconds flat," carries a treat bag marked "Loot." Another boy is bandaged head-to-toe: "What he really looks like, only his mummy knows." At the end, everyone gathers at a party. These tried-and-true ideas invite browsing before and during festivities, and may well inspire some nifty costumes. Ages 3-7. (Aug.)
