THE ALPHABET PARADE
by Seymour Chwast & illustrated by Seymour Chwast
A cheerfully inventive array of characters march across the airy white space of this generously sized, square book, observed by a continuous row of spectators who also contribute to the fun and to the letter connections— which are listed at the end (as few as four for ``Xx,'' 35 for ``Ss''). Crisp, clean design, amusing detail. (Picture book. 3-7)
