Illustrated by
Heather Cahoon.
The anthropomorphized numerals one through ten systematically round up smiling garden vegetables ("Seven sees tomato / basking in the sun, / takes her hand, / and off they run") to be used in soup served to the king and queen (a boy and girl). Illustrated with flat, vegetation-toned images, the rhymes are taut and catchy.
