Selected as One of the New York Public Library's 100 Best Children's
Books for Reading and Sharing The exuberance of childhood often centers
around food, so it's no wonder that food rhymes endure from one
generation to the next. Here, Lillian Morrison has gathered some of the
wittiest and best-loved chants, street cries, and mock blessings for the
enjoyment of young and old alike. Nancy Dunaway's pen-and-ink
illustrations bounce with enthusiasm as children attend festive parties,
visit Mexican villages, and journey to the moon. In Morrison and
Dunaway's jointly created universe, fruits flirt, dogs fish... and all
the world is an apple pie. These stories are perfect for young foodies.
Readers will learn the importance of caring and resourcefulness.
