Bookroo's summary
Explore the city through a new lens where everyday objects reveal hidden letters. From sawhorses to lampposts, each page transforms the mundane into an artistic alphabet. Can you find them all?
From the publisher
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.
