Alphabet School

Stephen T Johnson

Letters of the alphabet appear in ordinary sights around a school. A bus-mirror shadow makes a B, flags form an F, sandwich remnants resemble a G, and a raised toilet seat suggests a U. The book looks through classrooms, hallways, a gymnasium, and playgrounds for alphabet shapes hidden in familiar objects and scenes. Realistic full-page paintings show a worn, textured school environment while inviting close looking at the forms found there.
