PS
Each page of this clever book names one featured item in the picture ("ball / teddy bear / hat"), and one hidden item that will be featured in the next picture. Jack and Jill also make a cameo appearance. Rendered in a folk-art style, the muted illustrations look as if the surface they were painted on has crackled with age. The repeated motifs and intriguing ambiance will encourage multiple readings.
