(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. In four vignettes set a hundred years apart, parents and children make blackberry fool. Accompanied by Blackall's decorative and informative art, this thought-provoking sample shows how a simple task has changed over time. In 1810 Charleston, an enslaved woman and daughter get only bowl lickings; in 2010 San Diego, a dad and son host a diverse group of friends. Recipe and historical notes appended.
