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. Envision a healthy "Gingerbread House Makeover" with a "grove of broccoli trees, / the teeny-weeny doorknobs made / of bright green peas." Whimsical watercolor washes extend the silliness--ant families boating in "Watermelon Lake," for instance--of the capable rhymes.
