(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erik Blegvad. Blegvad re-illustrates this nonsense poem (previously published in a collection of Bodecker's verse) in the style of the late author-illustrator, his beloved friend. A progressively disheveled Mary engages in frenzied preparations for winter, all at the imperious behest of her rotund husband. She finally snaps, and he ends up wearing his tea. Blegvad imbues the illustrations with a warmth and humor that lighten Mary's weary toiling.
Reviewer: Susan Halperin | Horn Book Magazine Issue: April, 1977
