The Slant Book

The Slant Book is literally the shape of a parallelogram, with the spine of the book running down one side. All the pictures on the slanted recto pages show a way-too-precocious infant in a carriage [the "go-cart" of yesteryear] racing downhill who has somehow gotten away from his nanny, gleefully creating havoc all along the way! The facing verso pages contain two stanzas of commentary on the charming –if alarming!– illustrations. (Summary by Denny Sayers)
