ABC: A Child's First Alphabet Book

(3) PS One central image ("a is for apple") dominates each page; it's surrounded by alphabetically appropriate objects (an ant, an artist). The hint about each upcoming letter (e.g., a balloon floats behind the apple) makes this a sophisticated "first" alphabet book, but don't hold that against it. The accomplished illustrations are treated with what appears to be a crackling glaze.
