Mother Earth's Children: by Elizabeth Gordon
The Frolics of the Fruits and Vegetables (1914) is a collection of poems for young children to appreciate the joy of fresh food! See if you can make a game of finding and naming them next time you are at the farmer's market or grocery store.
NORTH Wind came whistling by one day
Where the Tomatoes were at play;
It gave those children such a fright
They put their blankets on that night.
Томаты весело в саду играли,
Холодный Ветер повстречали,
И так, Томатов, Ветер напугал,
Что томатик каждый, под одеялом ночью спал
