(2) PS This photographic find-the-letter alphabet book is ideal for three- to four-year-olds. The hidden letters--all in an urban location--are tinted a satisfying fire-engine red, and the letter (in both capital and lowercase) is printed below the picture or on the facing page. Beautifully composed and reproduced in high contrast, the subjects range from gritty to gently humorous. A brilliantly simple idea executed in a classic manner.
