This is an enduring (well, a few months anyway) favourite at our house. It was a library find that we liked so much we bought.
It is a sturdy little board book with tabs down the right hand side of each page to make them easy to turn.
The right hand side of each two page spread has a garden scene. The left hand side has a labelled picture of each object that appears on the other side. It's great for playing "where is the ... " or "show me the ..." games. Later on, when E's language is a bit more developed, I imagine we'll be able to reverse the game and say "what is this?"

The pictures are bright and distinct. It looks to me as though each little person/object might have been made from plasticine or modelling clay and then photographed, although it's hard to tell and I haven't read anything anywhere to suggest this is so.
I just discovered when googling for a picture that there are a whole series of "look and say" books by Usborne (http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/catalogue.aspx?cat=1&series=143). I knew there was a "Town" one as E's little friend H (two and a half) loves the cars and trucks in that one, but the "Farm" and "Beach" varieties look as though they'd be popular around here.
