Sparkle and Spin is a playful collaboration between Ann and Paul Rand. It was originally published in 1957 by Harcourt Brace. Chronicle Books gave it a second life in 2006. Now you can view the entire book via Lookybook. (for a little bit more info click here)
“Paul Rand did not set out to create classic children's books, he simply wanted to make pictures that were playful. Like the alchemist of old, he transformed unlikely abstract forms into icons that inspired children and adults—and laid the foundation for two books that have indeed become children's classics.”
—Steven Heller, author of Paul Rand
