(3) PS Illustrated by Vladimir Radunsky. A fresh interpretation of Lear's classic nonsense alphabet places each letter's subject (a jar of jam for J, an owl for O, etc.) and the accompanying text blocks against a screen of intensely dazzling color. Despite the pared-down collage pictures, the pages ooze energy; a few exceptions feature a staid design, but overall, nonsense has never looked so hip.
