PRESCHOOL
de Regniers, Beatrice Schenk

What Did You Put in Your Pocket?

(3) PS Illustrated by Michael Grejniec. De Regniers's jaunty text, first published in a 1958 collection, responds to the titular question with a cumulative series of delights (e.g., ice cream, mashed potatoes, "funny finny fingers! / spinky spanky handkerchief!"), one for each day of the week. Grejniec's finger-paint-style images star a white, insouciant, long-necked, foxlike creature and enough "fluppy gluppy" goo to keep preschoolers chanting along merrily.
