Some kids love peas and potatoes. Some kids love beans and tomatoes. Then there is Artichoke Boy who loves artichokes most of all. He's not the only one. His mother, father, and sister are crazy for artichokes, too! It's one big artichoke-loving family. Scott Mickelson's zany picture book in rhyme, with bright and bold illustrations, will keep young ones coming back again and again for lots of giggles---and plenty of artichokes. Reviews"Children will be tickled by the vegetable's constant reinventions; the rollicking prose, dementedlooking protagonist, and skewed perspectives will have them asking for second helpings." "[T]he ingenuity displayed in integrating artichokes throughout the book is admirable. ... Mickelson’s offering could be used in a food-themed storytime." |
