(2) PS A small square book with board pages introduces a smiley-faced yellow box. Cleverly engineered tabs and pop-ups bring outside and inside, up and down, and near and far to life. Text is on the left-hand pages, while on the right chalk-drawn scenes on black backgrounds set the stage for the box to be maneuvered into various opposites. This volume's life will be short but its appeal irresistible.
