Cover Story
"Our cover picture Holiday traffic on its way to the coast, August 1960' may evoke nostalgia, interest, curiosity or speculation. Whatever the response, if it encourages close looking that is what Penny Marshall had in mind when she selected for Cars (0 356 l 1393 0) in her The Camera as witness series for Macdonald."

A series of animals take up the question 'What do you see?' each one introducing a new colour. The book is cleverly constructed so that the questions keep the reader turning the pages to find the answers through to the final spread showing smaller versions of each animal appropriately portrayed in its named colour. Carle used a cut paper technique to illustrate Bill Martin Junior's rhythmic, repetitive predictable text. Just the thing for beginner readers for whom I believe the words were originally written. However, the difference between this book and so many others specially constructed is that this one really works and is read over and over by its intended audience.
