Plum

About this book

Were proud to "pear" a plum of a poet and a peach of an artist for a book that will be the apple of your eye! Tony Mitton has been hailed in the U.K. for reviving the tradition of English lyric childrens poetry. Now he makes his U.S. collection debut with poems for every mood -- thoughtful funny silly fantastical -- all perfectly accompanied by the wondrous pastels of Mary GrandPre. Together they reveal the story of St. Brigid and the baker ... the mysteries that lie down Green Man Lane ... the pleasure of a special hat ... the joys of the Elegant Elephant Delicatessen and the talents of Mrs. Bhattacharyas Chapati Zap Machine. Like plums and poems this book holds beauty inside.
