In THE LOOKING BOOK, beloved author P. K. Hallinan uses lively rhyming verse to invite children to delight in the wonders of the world around them. Given a pair of 'lookers' by their mom, two boys venture outside to see what they can find. To their surprise, they discover 'tree-things and bee-things and roses and weeds . . . small things and tall things and flowers with seeds, ' right in their own backyard. Before long, the boys realize that they don't need the lookers at all. Whimsical illustrations and sturdy pages will make this book a favorite with young explorers.
