(3) PS Illustrated by Rich Deas. "I love my thumb, I truly do. / It tastes of pears and carrot stew." A thumb-sucker's ode to her favorite digit admits her habit's downside ("You make it hard to run, / and beat a drum, / and eat a plum") but concludes with renewed commitment as the last tenderhearted illustration shows her asleep, thumb in mouth. When the rhymes are sappy, it's with winking awareness.
