It's comprised of complicated drawings of places -- the inside of a house, the inside of an airport, etc. There is a lot going on in these drawings, and they can be used for vocabulary development, as well as grammar. I think their address is 4255 W. Touhy Ave., Lincolnwood, IL 60646. However, if you can find one of their catalogs, that would give you the most accurate information. Good luck!
