A review by calistareads
On Market Street by Anita Lobel, Arnold Lobel

4.0

This is mostly a creative alphabet book for beginners and above. There is a poem of text at the beginning to set up the story and at the end to complete the story. A child is going to market planning to buy a ton of stuff.

The market is a person who is wearing a lot of the things they are selling. Umbrellas make up a person with a head standing up. The artwork is amazing and creative! Anita Lobel is the artist and she is very creative in her design. I was impressed by this. It really did deserve the Caldecott.

This made the children laugh. They loved looking at the picture to see what funny stuff made up a person. I thought the instrument person was really inspired. The nephew thought the oranges were funny and the niece thought the vegetables were funny. Both of the kids laughed merrily at this. They loved it. The nephew gave this 4 stars and the niece gave it 4 stars. Look at that.
