Asparagus in early spring Came up to hear the robins sing; When she peeped out her dress was white; It turned green in the sunshine bright. This 100-year-old collection of eighty-seven whimsical verses features color illustrations that will delight both the young and the young at heart. From apples to yams, the rhymes offer an alphabetical parade of kids dressed as fruits and vegetables: a blushing strawberry, a playful radish, carrot ladies with green-feathered hair, and other children of the earth.

Every page has a quatrain accompanied by a chubby character--often a child--that is either dressed in a vegetable costume or is actually part plant depending on the age you read this book. This book of poems is surprisingly educational. It includes many fruits and other botanical produce that I only vaguely remember reading the names of but have never heard pronounced or seen in a grocery store. The lines also indicate the seasons the plants grow in, what they look like during different life stages, and their original nationality--plenty to learn for an adult that grew up feeding from a typical modern American grocery store. Yet at the beginning the omnipotent, matronly voices says all these characters are in the child reader's home garden and tended to by their mother. Congratulations Mother, you have an incredible garden! ( )
