Hatberry
Shoeberry
In my canoeberry
Under the bridge
And over the dam
Looking for berries...Berries for jam!

 

"Berries and jam are roundly celebrated in a lilting text that, coupled with the jaunty colored pictures, make it hard to resist thinking about one of summer's lusher treats. . . . A good pick for sharing one-on-one, or fun to read aloud as a poetry introduction."--"BL."
