Illustrated by
Marjorie Priceman.
"Monday's the day we give babies away / with a half a pound of tea." Gershator describes a week during which a multitude of babies are adopted by happy mothers, riding away on horseback and sailing off in ships. Priceman's swirling, cheerful watercolors play up the warm, joyful nature of Gershator's folk song interpretation. Music is included.
