Space Alphabet
by sbrothierIn honor of Sputnik 1, 50 years later (on Oct. 4th), I present to you all a nice little gem of a book I got off of ebay about a year ago: Space Alphabet (1964) by Irene Zacks. Pictures by Peter P. Plasencia.
It's the entire book. I normally don't do this, but it's just too good not to share it all.

JBOOK: [kokuyotoipogurahui]
by sbrothierIt is the strange vision unrestricted building block where as for “[toipogurahui]”, when the part is rearranged, the English word becomes Chinese character of the same meaning, becomes the picture. While rearranging small and large various parts, playing pleasantly, it can cultivate the creativity of the children by experiencing the work of producing new shape. The material uses the Buna material where the Hokkaido product is selected, has become the completion where you can feel feeling good quality in material feeling such as touch. Not only the child way, also the adult moves the hand personally, by the fact that you think, everyone and others creativity (the flash) can forge pleasantly.
