Paintings that echo with the realism of photographs offer an enticing array of hidden (and not-so-hidden) treasures in a book that finds letters of the alphabet in cityscapes and city objects. Stephen T. Johnson's vision invites readers to look - and then look again - at the world around them. (Ages 3-6)

A 1996 Caldecott Honor book!
The urban landscape will never look the same again. As Stephen T. Johnson demonstrates in a series of strikingly realistic pastels and watercolors, a simple sawhorse can contain the letter "A"--while lampposts alongside a highway can form a row of elegant, soaring Ys. A 1996 Caldecott Honor book, this sophisticated, wordless alphabet book is sure to appeal to young and old alike.
