(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joshua S. Brunet. The titular song, popularized by Peter, Paul, and Mary (a CD is included), is ultimately not a love song but a spoof of racial prejudice ("The neighbors...think value on their property will go right down / If the family next door is blue"). This meaning may elude young readers, but they will be content studying the lavish illustrations of an amusingly lovey-dovey interspecies couple.
