Artifact Overview

Here, the classic alphabet block appears on a set of illustrated flashcards. Lettered cards show something beginning with that letter; numbered cards show that number of birds. Colorful packaging appealed to youngsters, and a seal of approval from Parents' magazine assured grown-ups of the cards' educational value.
