Pickin' Peas

Written by Margaret Read MacDonald and Illustrated by Pat Cummings

Pickin' peas. Land on my knees! sings a pesky rabbit as he merrily eats his way through the pea patch Little Girl has planted. But when Little Girl snatches him up and takes him home to put in a box until pea season is over, the rabbit is soon singing a new tune as he plans his escape. With a nod to Brer Rabbit, Pickin' Peas is adapted from two folktales collected in Alabama and Virginia. This southern trickster folktale will teach readers the importance of resourcefulness, respect, and fairness.

Tales of Nonsense & Tomfoolery

Written by Pleasant DeSpain
Every culture on Earth has its own lovable fools—people who mean well but somehow manage to mix things up anyway. Even though they often choose the wrong thing to do, their hearts are usually in the right place. By listening to their stories, we learn how to make better choices ourselves… and how to laugh when we have a silly moment, too.
