PS
This picture dictionary of twenty-six words, originally printed as a picture book, is well suited to the board book format, containing a single word on each large page or double-page spread (clock, dog, hill), and illustrated with dreamlike antique-style folk paintings. Adults and slightly older readers will enjoy pointing out the occasional visual references to other pages in the work.
