Publisher's Note: In this beautifully illustrated, full-color alphabet storybook in verse, Amy, Ben, & Catalpa the Cat take children on a fun-filled day in eighteenth-century Williamsburg. The story, set in early autumn, opens at Amy & Ben's home, where Ben is harvesting pumpkins, Amy is baking apple pies, & playful Catalpa is constantly underfoot. But no sooner does the fifer pass by their window than they are off to the fair! During their adventures in Williamsburg the heroes introduce young readers to George Washington & other eighteenth-century characters as well as to various colonial activities such as a fair, a ride in an oxcart, children's games, & a visit to Tarpley's Store. The inviting illustrations colorfully re-create authentic colonial clothing, architecture, agriculture, & animal husbandry.
