(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Simple rhyming text explains the haymaking process as executed by a girl, her mother, and an array of farm machinery. Paint-scraped endpapers echo the magnificent skies Cepeda creates throughout with oils over acrylic on illustration board, the book's wide trim allowing for dramatic landscapes. Cartoony characters match the light tone set in the title. Includes a recipe for switchel. Glos.

Full-color photos, recipes, nutritional charts, and "grow your own grubs" instructions are included. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
