(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jialei Sun. Kimchi, chowchow, and sauerkraut: oh my! This vibrant picture book honors the culture-spanning art of pickling. Sayres’s rhymes are chock full of spicy adjectives -- “rubbery” “wrinkled” “squeaky” -- that both appeal to the senses and are fun to read aloud. Sun’s energetic digital art fills each double-page spread to the brim, echoing the expansive diversity of picklers and pickled products spanning the globe. Back matter includes an illustrated “World of Pickles,” how-tos, a recipe, author’s note, and more. Like a day spent pickling and preserving in the kitchen, this is a pleasantly chaotic sensory delight. Reading list, websites.
