(2) PS Illustrated by Yu-Mei Han. Corbett's nonsensical poem, written in the late 1800s, tells of three ladies (silly, not wise) who set off to pick berries and cherries, taking with them a basket, a ladder, and a fan. Han's three women are extravagantly foolish, and she uses equally extravagant colors with lots of turquoise, orange, and bright pink, just shy of garish for a very cheery effect.
