PS
Spanning the world, this photo-essay shows children having fun, playing alone or with friends, using store-bought toys or handmade creations. Each double-page spread features a phrase in large type and short photo captions in smaller type. Two pages at the end of the book describe the universality of play. The page layout is busy, with four or five photos vying for attention. A map and a country index would have been useful.
