A simple board book about looking at differn't objects.

Twelve pages into the See the Rabbit it was finished, and I still couldn't pinpoint what Ahlberg's message was.

What does baby see? This book is a great one-on-one read as you can say "See the..." and let your child find the item in the picture. An easy start to "I spy."
