(3) K-3 Books of Wonder series. Originally published in 1923 and one of the first titles to herald the flowering of the American picture book, Falls's ABC Book features animals both commonplace and exotic, from the antelope and the bear to the yak and the zebra. While primitive compared to many of today's slick and clever alphabet books, the bold, blocky woodcuts and screens of flat color in bright hues have an appealing simplicity.
