Pearl Onion

Pearl Onion, tiny little thing,

Lives out doors from early spring;

She's German, so I understand,

And dearly loves her father-land.

Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Pearl Onion's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the vegetable illustrations and verse from "Mother Earth's Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

Onion
I am older than Egypt's ancient
kings--
I was born where the ibis
spreads its wings.
But soon I wandered wide and
far,
From Northern fjords to Zanizi-
bar.
And now you'll find me every-
where,
On every nation's bill of fare.
