The letter 'B' shows a boy riding a bicycle on the shorewith a hot-air balloon floating in the sky in the background, above the words 'Bicycle,' 'Boy' and 'Balloon.' The text continues in this way throughout the alphabet. For example, the letter 'A' is illustrated with a fisherman standing by an acorn tree on which an axe leans, and the words 'Acorn,' 'Axe,' and 'Angler' printed beneath the picture. The remainder of the text contains twenty-six illustrations (three per page) and three words of text paired with a letter of the alphabet printed in red upper case.
