(3) PS This updated edition of the popular photo-illustrated word book is essentially identical to the original. Common, familiar objects, animals, and activities--featured in clear, bright photos set against a white background or in small drawings--are grouped together on double-page spreads with such headings as "On the farm" and "Colors, shapes, and numbers." Children will be drawn to the bright, cheerful pages of this first vocabulary lesson.
