Making pickles takes a lot of work. But Mrs. Fickle is more than up to the task. She can't wait to start digging in her garden. But she can't simply plant a pickle. She needs to select the right cucumber-pickle seeds. From the seeds come seedlings and eventually cucumbers. Then comes Mrs. Fickle's favorite part of the process: picking and pickling the cucumbers. This summer she might enter them in the county fair! Lori Ries's delightful rhyming picture book, accompanied by Nancy Cote's cheerful illustrations, packs a lot of fun into a few select words and is perfect for reading aloud.

Editorial Reviews
Review
A simple 16-line poem comprises the entire text, and every other line reads exactly the same-"Mrs. Fickle likes her pickles"-a device sure to spark audience response. Cote's bright illustrations, done in gouache, carry much of the narrative...The simplicity of this breezy rural story will invite repeat readings and a slurp or two of anticipation. --Kirkus Reviews

Cote's illustrations make this book. Follow Mrs. Fickle from picking out seeds, to winning a blue ribbon at the country fair. A great springboard for teachers and parents to do their own planting projects with children.

Very cute; One of our favorites,
This review is from: Mrs. Fickle's Pickles (Hardcover)
My son loves this book...I love this book! We started reading it when he was 6 months old and he's now 2 years old and frequently pulling it off the book shelf...even though it's now a little tattered. Illustrated pictures are a pleasure to both boy/girl genders -- dogs; farm animals; trucks; tractors; flowers, etc.

My 2-yr old daughter LOVES this book. We have checked it out from the library several times and I think it's time to purchase it. Silly words, nice story, lots of things to talk about in the pictures.
