The Popcorn Astronauts: And Other Biteable Rhymes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Rankin. From the "Strawberry Queen" of spring through the "Cocoa Cabana" of winter, this poetry collection provides a fresh perspective on the tastes of each season.

Whimsical watercolor washes extend the silliness--ant families boating in "Watermelon Lake," for instance--of the capable rhymes.
