Scarlette Beane

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jon Berkeley. Born in a too-small house to plant-loving parents, Scarlette Beane grows some hugely magical vegetables and, finally, an enormous vegetable castle for her cramped family. The optimistic text matches the glowing paintings of vegetables and rich earth, and the rough acrylic illustrations on textured paper give enough small details of the Beane family homestead to reward close observation.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
