  1. The picture book's cover: the title on a yellow cloud above a row of children holding hands.
  2. The book standing open, seen from behind: the back cover, a yellow spine and the front.
  3. An open spread: the whole alphabet in tall coloured letters with children climbing over them.
  4. The B spread: a big orange B, a short verse, and a crowded beach scene.
  5. The R spread: a big green R, a short verse, and children camping under round trees.
  6. An open spread: the last letters of the alphabet tangled together at left, a note about the illustrator at right.
  7. The title page: Big Thoughts for Little People in small type on white, a dotted trail and a ladybird.
  8. The back cover: a block of copy on cream with a small boy waving at the foot.
