Harper Growing Tree series.
Illustrated by
John Sandford.
A simple, first-person verse catalogs familiar animals and their favorite snacks: the cow says "I like a mouthful of clover," and the undiscriminating goat exclaims "I'll eat whatever's around!" The soft watercolor and pencil illustrations combine realism and charm but suffer from what appears to be poor reproduction. Nonetheless, this is an appealing and age-appropriate choice for young snackers.
