(2) PS Illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. At first glance, this is the simplest of books for very young children. Short questions are posed with answers provided by turning the page. The acrylic paintings often give hints of what's to come; the rhyming text sets up patterns. But the entire book is actually one continuous scene spanning space and seasons that should keep children thinking long after the initial guessing game.
