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.
CRANBERRY dearly loves to go
Wading in places wet and low;
She wears soft gowns of dainty floss
Made of the pretty yellow moss.
Клюковка-красавица, там обитает,
Где есть болотце (сборщик это знает),
Она предпочитает в халатик зеленый одеваться,
И мхом пушистым на ночь укрываться.
