Cock-a-Doodle-Doo, Creak, Pop-Pop, Moo

(3) PS Illustrated by Brad Sneed. "Old stairs creak. / Come fast as you can. / Ham pop-pops / In the frying pan." Onomatopoeia-flecked rhymes describe a typical day with a farm family that suggests the Brady Bunch in the Waltons' time (and clothing). The rhymes have the easy gait of a country song, and the American regionalist–style watercolor paintings invest the characters with simple-folk dignity.
