Mrs. Fickle loves her pickles! Making pickles takes a lot of work. But Mrs. Fickle is more than up to the task. She can"t wait to start digging in her garden. But she can"t simply plant a pickle. She needs to select the right cucumber-pickle seeds. From the seeds come seedlings and eventually cucumbers. Then comes Mrs. Fickle"s favorite part of the process: picking and pickling the cucumbers. This summer she might enter them in the county fair! Lori Ries"s delightful rhyming picture book, accompanied by Nancy Cote"s cheerful illustrations, packs a lot of fun into a few select words and is perfect for reading aloud.
