Passing the Peace: A Counting Book for Children

In each case, deceptively simple paper cuts will delight the eye while young readers explore words in three languages.

Earlier collaborations by Tom Slaughter and Marthe Jocelyn have received raves from critics. This new addition to their library is yet another excellent introduction to modern art, to words, and this time to the fun of languages
