When Mrs. Elmira Deeds waddles into Mr. Adolph’s deli and asks for a pickle, chaos erupts!

"The infectious refrain, deadpan humor, and outlandish paintings of anthropomorphized sandwiches, pretzels, and almonds will appeal to youngsters with a taste for the offbeat.” —Booklist Booklist, ALA
“A hoot.” —Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly —

The only weird thing about this book is some of the wording doesn't roll off your tongue very easily, so sometimes I change a word or two as we read it. Otherwise, it's a fun book, and certain to go into your daily rotation. My daughter has been reading this since she was 2.5, and I could see her enjoying the story for at least a few more years.
a group of young children. They love to shout out the refrain throughout the book and
do so with great enthusiasm. It is a ridiculously funny story for preschool aged children
and invites everyone to join in the fun. Am retired now and wanted to share this
treasure with another teacher.
