PS
Freymann and Elffers once again conduct a Rose Parade of a picture book, in which every illustration is a photograph of fruits and vegetables. This underwater counting book's brief rhyming text is definitely upstaged by the artwork, but it hardly matters. All eyes will be trained on the amazing seascape, with its ginger root lobsters, Asian eggplant eels, and banana dolphins cavorting above a fava bean kelp bed.
