Radish and Green Onion

"Little Miss Radish, pretty thing,
Has her birthday in the spring:
She and the little Onions play
Out in the garden all the day.

 

Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Radish and Green 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.

"The beautiful red radishes from the garden made the most charming of babies, with their leaves turned down for clothes and tied around with blades of glass. Somtimes Radish Babies  were put to sleep in spool box cradles, but more often they were eaten by their fond mothers, for Radish Babies were not only good to look at, and good to play with, but good to eat, as well."

The Radish Baby's Song

Dear little red faced
Baby in green,
You are the brightest child
That ever was seen,
Though 'tis for your brightness
That others may greet you,
'Tis for your goodness
That Mother will eat you.
