Mother Earth's Children; The Frolics of the Fruits and Vegetables: Illustrated

by Elizabeth Gordon

Book Overview

A seed, little friends, is really a plant or a tree all wrapped up in a little brown bundle. If you plant it in the ground it will grow, and when it is old enough it will bear fruit, because God has made it so. 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. In your Mother's garden you will always find many familiar friends; in the fields the graceful Grain children will nod and beckon to you; in the orchard the Fruit children will peep out at you from their leafy homes; along the roadside the gay little Berries will give you a friendly greeting, and in the forest you will find the little wild Grapes climbing trees and playing hide and seek with the Bird children.

Mother Earth's Children for children of all ages

This delightful book has four lines of poetry on each page under a drawing of a particular vegetable or fruit. Not only are the drawings imaginative, and colorful, but this is an easy way to introduce children to the different vegetables and fruits. They will remember this book, as I have, for over 50 years. And they will want to read it to their grandchildren, as I do, and my Grandmother did for me.
