(4) K-3 Mr. Barleycorn discovers a large green baby who causes fruits and vegetables to grow in profusion. After some early skepticism, the neighbors enjoy the bountiful harvest, but the future is uncertain when the baby leaves. The rhymed text is heavy-handed and labored, but this environmental fable's surreal (and unsettling) illustrations are beautifully rendered.
