(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. In this reworking of "The Farmer in the Dell," the rat decides to eat the cheese. He's joined, in reverse order, by the characters from the song, culminating in a picnic for all. Their faces are particularly expressive; the textured collages are partly composed of camouflaged words and music notes. Pair this with the song for a rollicking storytime.
