Background:

These charming prints celebrate the Fruits and Vegetables found in Mother Earth's Garden.   As noted in the introduction "Among all the children of Mother Nature, the fruits and vegetables are probably the most useful to us.  Wherever we may go some of these little people are there before us, ready to help us by giving us food and to make life easy and joyous for us."

Each illustration is accompanied by a poem, some whimsical others providing a life's lesson for the young reader.
