(2) PS Lemons shows pairs of objects (fruits, animals, vegetables) first in the wrong color through a die-cut hole, then correctly after a page turn. Boy, a counting and hidden-words book, features windows cut through right-hand pages revealing "one boy," "two seals," etc. The page turn shows three letters of the previous spread's text, incorporated into a description of the picture. Intriguing concept books. Review covers these titles: Lemons Are Not Red and One Boy.
