Raspberries!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Will Moses. Storyteller O'Callahan introduces Simon the baker, whose hard luck changes when a customer repays his kindness with magical raspberries. Baked into tarts, the delicious fruit makes everyone in Simon's dull little town shout, "Rasssssspberrrrrrrieeeeees!" The story rambles a bit, but it has read-aloud potential. Exuberant paintings in the style of Grandma Moses (the artist's great-grandmother) convey the old-fashioned rural setting. Recording included.
