My Aunt Came Back

(4) PS Harper Growing Tree series. This rowdy rhyme for toddlers to join in on begins, "My aunt came back / from Timbuktu / She brought me back / a wooden shoe," and adds a new gift with each spread. Cummings's exuberant chant and artwork are marred only by the confusing inclusion of final good-byes in five languages that feel as if they should match the places mentioned in the book, but don't. Neither do the presents, actually.
