Illustrated by
Mary Newell DePalma.
A collection of more than twenty-five poems tills the garden for much of its vivid imagery. In free verse as well as rhyming poems, the earth is as delicious as flourless brownie cake, a boy imagines dandelions as pirate's doubloons, hollyhocks sway like leggy ballerinas, and summer curls away like an apple peel. Attractive watercolors decorate every page.
