The Wild Bunch [Hardcover]

Dee Lillegard (Author)

Book Description

Meet the wild bunch, an appealing cast of fruits and vegetables just bursting with personality. There are mangos who tango and roots in dirty suits, some who are saucy and some who are sweet. And some can even be touchy, so please, don't ever call an eggplant "chicken"!

Dee Lillegard's clever verse is perfectly accompanied by Rex Barron's bright and expressive illustrations, which truly bring these delicious characters to life. So turn the pages and enjoy the feast!

My children are now 4 1/2 and 7 1/2. I have enjoyed reading this book to them many times. The rhymes are great and funny; the illustrations are entertaining, as well. It is really a neat, fun book. I wish more people knew about The Wild Bunch. It has contagious, easy to remember poems about vegetables of all things! You cannot go wrong purchasing this book for your library.

Having had Rex Barron visit our kids' school, I had to order this book of his. We all love his bright illustrations and the thoughts behind the drawings. He shows vegetables some kids have never seen in real life let alone tried them. The easy text is great for beginning readers. Maybe kids will love their veggies after having read the book.
