Valerie Bloom (Illus. David Axtell), Fruits

Macmillan, 9780333653128 | Suggested age range: 3-5

From half a pawpaw to ten bananas, this is a wonderful Caribbean counting poem during which a little girl eats her fill - and more! The richly drawn illustrations describe the different, often sneaky, ways she gets her fruits and - just sometimes - shares them until she's feeling very sick.
