(2) PS This paper-over-board edition of Seeger's snazzy concept book features a clever and more colorful cover that will have readers exercising their visual acuity before they even open the book. Once inside, they'll take their time looking at each object before lifting the black matte-like flap and seeing the object within the corresponding letter of the alphabet--then marveling at the metamorphosis.
