A letter from The MacMillan company notifying children's booksellers about "Look Again" being featured on the popular children's show "Mister Roger's Neighborhood". The text reads as follows: The Macmillan Company; A Subsidiary of Crowell Collier and Macmillan, Inc.; 866 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022; Children's Book Department; March 26, 1971; Dear Juvenile Bookseller: On May 11 several million preschool children watching the popular TV show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", shown on 199 stations, will look at LOOK AGAIN!, a new book by Tana Hoban. Three days later they'll look again at LOOK AGAIN!; Mister Rogers uses this show-stopper of a book to demonstrate the enduring value of having good children's books around the house -- the kinds of books kids pick up again and again and continue seeing something new each time.<br /> The Kirkus Reviews put LOOK AGAIN! in orbit last month with their prepublication starred review. It is a book you are going to be hearing a lot about even without its double exposure on the prime rated "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." If you haven seen it, order your copies today. It is a book we think you'll reorder again and again. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Janet Schulman, Marketing Director; JS/bh; P.S. The only words in the entire book (aside from those on the copyright page) are on the dedication page: "To E., who taught me to see." Tana Hoban and her camera have created in LOOK AGAIN! a book that is going to teach all of us to see.
