Paper Peek: Alphabet

Learning the alphabet is a lot more fun with clever die-cuts and kaleidoscopic artwork.

Peek through an ant-shaped opening to see an intricate pattern made of colorful objects, animals, and graphic shapes. Turn the page, and the letters ABC emerge, as the pattern expands to include many more components. Can you find one armadillo hidden among them? Two bicycles? Three camels? With an equally jam-packed spread for every three letters of the alphabet, this search-and-find concept book promises a mesmerizing activity for children—and a satisfying visual experience for fans of graphic design.Endearingly rendered objects fit together like puzzle pieces with the letters that start them and beg to be examined closely and tallied up.
