REVIEWS
A story so beloved we recently had a nursery-school teacher tell us her class had made up a song to go with it! A pickle escapes its inevitable, edible fate and goes running off down the street, hotly pursued by a whole gang of... other food! Intentionally misproportioned drawings with crazy details (e.g., the pickle wears jeans), and hilarious text ("Everyone knows a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is not the fastest ...") makes this a must-read. $14.95. Ages 3 - 6. Review from BANK STREET BOOKSTORE, NEW YORK CITY
