Illustrated by
Gertrude Elliott.
Two little gardeners work hard cultivating their crops. After preparing one fresh and delicious meal, they have plenty left to can and store. The illustrations depict a bucolic world that might be too sweet for some readers (although details in the art add humor). The melodic text is accompanied by music to a song called "Full as a Fiddle."

Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Robin Brickman.
Brickman has done startling new cut-paper collage illustrations for Hurd's beginning-reader book on starfish. Watercolor washes, marbling techniques, and shocking colors portray the starfish in all their chromatic glory, while the simple text points out their intrinsic oddities, such as the fact that they can regrow lost limbs.
